In section 2.8 (Stylesheets and XML Schemas) of the XSLT 2.0 spec, the 
distinction of a "basic XSLT processor" and "Schema Aware XSLT processor" is 
not clear. The distinction is described as (it seems to me..) -
A stylesheet that works with a basic XSLT processor will work unchanged with a 
schema-aware XSLT processor, unless the type information created as a result 
of schema processing introduces type errors (for example, an attribute of type 
xs:date cannot be used as an argument of the substringFO function), or unless 
the type information changes the outcome of operations such as comparison and 
sorting.

This appears quite confusing .. I think it should be a bit more clear ...

Mukul
