I think a reason why Substitution groups might not be widely supported with databinding tools (not actually sure if they are or not because I don't use databinding) is simply that back when databinding was the hip way to solve programmer XML headaches substitution groups were underutilized (which I understand, the syntax always gives me headaches) and probably it was not implemented as being unimportant or put on a to do list. by the time that substitution groups became important - GML, XBRL... the shine was off of databinding.
