Could you clarify this? Does this mean that a basic XSLT processor MUST
understand all the schema types, but MAY NOT report these types?
I don't think that the folks who despise the WXS types jumble are going
to be very fond of such a stipulation, if so. Particularly if all
forty-four "built-in" types (as opposed to the mere nineteen "primitive"
types are required. It would effectively rule out using a coherent type
system (assuming that someone takes the trouble to create one for XML).
