I agree, we should allow implementation-defined subtypes of item(). Saxon's
extension types have traditionally been subtypes of anyAtomic, and there are
definitely cases where this doesn't make much sense.

Such a change might have more consequences than we can immediately foresee, but
having opened the door with function items to a third kind of item, I'm more
confident that the language doesn't fundamentally break if you open things up
at this point.
