No, XSL-T 1.0 does not know anything about schemas, you could write your
own extension function (to check for a datatype).
Or, if you just want to know how <float/> is defined in your Schema. you
could write some XSL-T that searches for the definition.
This would not check wether a given element's value is of type float, it
could just tell you that it ought to be a float.
