Documentation:
The state element is an abstract element that is meant to be extended (via substitution groups) by the states found in the component schemas. An actual state element is not valid. The use of this abstract class simplifies the OVAL schema by allowing individual states to inherit the optional notes child element, and the id and operator attributes from the base StateType. Please refer to the description of the StateType complex type for more information. An OVAL State is a collection of one or more characteristics pertaining to a specific object type. The OVAL State is used by an OVAL Test to determine if a set of items identified on a system meet certain characteristics.
