I would simply like to also highlight some more "qualitative" aspects of XSLT type handling, including the support for implicit typing, the fact that explicit typing can be used as required, the fact that types can be expanded, defined, and checked in a formal process (e.g. schema), as well as the good support for type casting, detection, and conversion.
Cheers, Wendell
