<li><strong class="pname"><code>symbol_set</code></strong> - A map from <a href="pyxb.binding.content.ElementUse-class.html"
class="link">ElementUse</a> instances to a list of values. The
order of the values corresponds to the order in which they should
appear. A key of <code>None</code> identifies values that are
stored as wildcard elements. Values are removed from the lists
as they are used; when the last value of a list is removed, its
key is removed from the map. Thus an empty dictionary is the
indicator that no more symbols are available.</li>
<li><strong class="pname"><code>output_sequence</code></strong> - A mutable list to which should be appended tuples <code>( eu, val
)</code> where <code>eu</code> is an <a
href="pyxb.binding.content.ElementUse-class.html"
class="link">ElementUse</a> from the set of symbol keys, and
<code>val</code> is a value from the corresponding list. A
document generated by producing the elements in the given order
is expected to validate.</li>
</ul></dd>
<dt>Returns:</dt>
<dd><code>True</code> iff the model validates.
<code>symbol_set</code> and <code>output_path</code> must be
unmodified if returns <code>False</code>.</dd>
