[XSLT]Built-in types

Hi,

   In section 3.13 of the XSLT 2.0 spec I see :

<quote>
All the primitive atomic types defined in [XML Schema] (Part 2), with
the exception of xs:NOTATION. That is: xs:string, xs:boolean,
xs:integer, xs:decimal, xs:double, xs:float, xs:date, xs:time,
xs:dateTime, xs:duration, xs:QName, xs:anyURI, xs:gDay, xs:gMonthDay,
xs:gMonth, xs:gYearMonth, xs:gYear, xs:base64Binary, xs:hexBinary, and
xs:QName.

The derived atomic type xs:integer defined in [XML Schema] (Part 2).</quote>

   Surely xs:integer cannot be both a primitive atomic type as well
as a derived atomic type? An examination of the referenced XML Schema
spec shows that it is a type derived from xs:decimal.

Regards,
Kenneth
