RE: [xsl] XSLT 2.0 and implementation of fn:idref in Saxon 7.9

["Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is what XSLT 2.0 section 4.4 says:

The data model allows attribute nodes to have type annotations derived from
schema processing. It is also possible for a limited set of type annotations
(on attributes only) to be derived from DTD-based validation of a source
document. Because the construction of the data model is outside the scope of
XSLT processing, this specification (in common with [Data Model]) neither
requires nor prevents this.

However, it also says that type annotations are allowed only in a
schema-aware processor. There are public comments affecting this, so this
could still change.
