Description

We have several forms that are named differently, but are the same, so we now
use "extends" rather than duplicate the configuration.

This should work
<form name="specificForm" extends="genericForm">
</form>

Instead we get:
The content of element type "form" is incomplete, it must match "(field)+".

Solution: DTD should allow (field)* within form element.
