XQuery BNF Question about SimpleDatatype

After I read the XQuery Spec - I have a question (although I am probably
just missing something obvious)...

In:
SimpleDatatype     ::= QName | '@' QName | 'ELEMENT'

What is the '@' for - is this a late-bound type to a referenced element
(based on a Schema) or some kind of XPath expression?

Thanks in advance,
