[Bug 29618] [FO31] Missing typename in section 19.1, xs: anySimpleType does not have a constructor

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29618

--- Comment #1 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
This text actually appears at the start of 18.1, not 19.1.

The text is correct, because xs:anySimpleType is not an atomic type.

I propose to add an intro between the headings for sections 18 and 18.1 (I've
come across copy-editors who believe passionately that such an intro is
necessary before any N.N.1 heading, and it does no harm to mollify them.)

So I propose the text:

This section describes constructor functions corresponding to simple types
defined in [XSD part 2]. Constructor functions are used to convert a supplied
value to a given type. They always take a single argument, and the name of the
function is the same as the name of the target type.

Constructor functions are defined for all user-defined named simple types, and
for most built-in atomic, list, and union types. The only named simple types
that have no constructor function are those that have no instances other than
instances of their derived types: specifically, xs:anySimpleType,
xs:anyAtomicType, and xs:NOTATION.
