Yes -- I'm not aware of any widely used processor which doesn't
support it. That includes X** **Y.
Whether they support it wrt *anyType* in particular is a potentially
separate question. Whether they even _should_ support it wrt
*anyType* is a matter for Schema REC language lawyers with
fine-toothed combs, high-power time-travel-enabled magnifying glasses
and infinite precision. Hence the likely need for a WG note if we go
this route.
