Good question, presuming books.xsd (which you didn't include) makes
. a key for <isbn> within <books>.
I think the answer is 'yes', that instance should raise an error --
the values are the same. xsi:type functions to establish a type for
an element prior to all notions of PSVI content and value. Key/keyref
enforcement should be agnostic about where the type information which
induced the values comes from.
