In 2.6.1.2, the second paragraph is an example of a residual use of the
word "type" rather than "datatype". This also occurs in constructs such as
"base type" and "item type". It's not clear whether the spec is trying to
make a distinction between the two words. "Union type" and "union datatype"
are used apparently interchangeably.
