If the input hasn't been validated you can just get the text content of

But **bk:ISBN-type** is a simpleType defined in the XML Schema; so I have to import the XML Schema:
<xsl:import-schema namespace="http://www.books.org"
schema-location="BookStore.xsd"/>
But then I am back to the problem of the XSLT processor insisting on validating all of my XML document.
Is there a way to get access to the simpleType, ISBN-type, without importing the XML Schema?
With AltovaXML for instance I think a document is only being validated
if it has the xsi:schemaLocation attribute linking to a schema.
For the example I posted where I took your schema I am able to use the
schema through xsl:import-schema while not validating the complete input
document.
Perhaps Saxon allows a similir configuration.
