Daniel,

Never mind. You answered the question I didn't state very well. I've brought
up the too tight coupling between XPath2 and XSD, and while I understand
that there are a lot of PSVI people that want to have that tight coupling,
when you don't want it (which I suspect will be most of the time) it ends up
adding a lot of complexity with little return. Oh well.
