Subject: data() function not returning the typed value of a node

according to the XQuery standard this here:
data(<x xsi:type="xs:integer">042</x>) should return 42
However Stylus returns the full string 042

reference: Micheal Brundage's XQuery The XML query language p. 55

Any ideas?

Hi,

>according to the XQuery standard this here:

This used to be true in a previous version of the specs, when constructed nodes were automatically validated; in the current version the user need to manually specify where validation will occur (e.g. data(validate {<x xsi:type="xs:integer">042</x>}) )

Note: currently Stylus will report a validation error if "x" is not a global element in a loaded schema.

Hope this helps,
Alberto
