So if you want to write a processor that starts with XML decorated with my:magic-type-annotation attributes, and turns these into type annotations in nodes in a data model, you are perfectly free to do so. The only thing we require is that the data model you provide as input to the XSLT/XQuery processor should satisfy some consistency rules, for example the values of nodes must be consistent with their type annotations.
