I think prohibited substitutions refers to substitution groups. An element E1 can be declared to be the "head" of a substitution group. If another element E2 is of a type derived from E1's type, it may declare that it is a member of E1's substitution group, allowing E2 to be used wherever E1 could be used. If E1 is a member of a substitution group headed by E0, then E2 can also substitute for E0.
But E1 is allowed to prohibit substitution of elements for it which are derived by restriction or elements derived by extension (while allowing the other). Also, individual places where E1 is used may make similar prohibitions, I think. I don't think this has much to do with your prohibited attribute use.
