From: "Dare Obasanjo" <dareo@microsoft.com> > XPath 2.0 and XQuery use W3C XML Schema as a basis for a type system and > not merely as a validation language. But XQuery has its own data model and "The data model does not represent element or attribute declaration schema components, but it supports various type-related operations." [1] The distinctive feature of WXS is not the type lattice in a resulting type-augmented infoset (other schema languages could be invented to provide that, if there were a reason) as much as its specific components: elements, abstract types, substitution groups, etc. (And, for the an interesting disconnect between XQuery and WXS, see also http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-xml-query-wg/2002Oct/0317.html) Cheers Rick Jelliffe [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/query-datamodel/#types
