At the moment it's blatantly not true, for example section 2.4.4.3 starts "[Definition: An ElementTest is used to match an element node by its name and/or type.] In fact sections 2.4.4.3 and 2.4.4.4 consistently use "type" to mean "schema-defined simple or complex type". I am generally using the phrase "schema type" to describe the set of things that can appear as type annotations on nodes, and I commend this usage to the editors... Michael Kay
