Take these two input documents:

schema_1.xsd -
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema";>
	<xsd:element name="swissBankAccountNo" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:schema>

schema_2.xsd -
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema";>
	<element name="luxembourgBankAccountNo" type="string"/>
</schema>

Say you're writing a stylesheet to document schemas (I am, in fact) -
how do you, in XSLT, pick up the fact that both elements have, in terms
of XML Schema semantics, the same value for their "type" attribute?
