I think that it would be a real mistake to tie XSLT (or Xpath) too closely to W3C Schema. The datatypes are aligned and that's fair enough, but it is clear that there will be several possibilities for defining structure in XML: DTD, W3C Schema, RELAXNG, schematron, ... XSLT should, as far as possible, be able to work with any of these systems. (In particular if the input to XSLT is a tree annotated with type information according to teh data model it shouldn't matter how that type information was specified, XPath shouldn't assume it came from a W3C Schema.
