--- Comment #5 from Andrew Eisenberg <andrew.eisenberg@us.ibm.com> 2011-03-08 21:50:18 UTC ---
The XML Query WG discussed this issue at its Feb./March 2011 F2F meeting.

We reaffirmed the decision that we made long ago, that type names should be
associated only with element and attribute nodes.

We make this decision partly because we recognize that a text node is not
always the entire content of an element. Consider a document that contains the
following element:

<a xsi:type="xs:integer">1<!-- comment -->0</a>

This element has a typed value of 10. It also contains two text nodes separated
by a comment node.

I would ask you to close this bug report if you agree with the WG decision.
