The spec isn't clear on that.  See the following discussion: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/xmlschema-dev/2006Jan/0053.html

Hi Florent,

If the element is abstract then you cannot have that element in the 
instance document no matter what type you set using xsi:type. You need 
to make the type abstract to force specifying another (non abstract) 
type with xsi:type.

Best Regards,
George
