We have tried in 1.1 to remove the unmodified word 'type' from running text,
but not from the names of schema component properties (which would be
a gratuitous change to the component structure, a thing roundly hated by
many implementers who use it to define their APIs and UIs).  Probably some
in text have been missed.
