example:

source xsd

<xsd:simpleType name="string70">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:whiteSpace value="preserve"/>
<xsd:minLength value="1"/>
<xsd:maxLength value="70"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

target xsd

<xsd:simpleType name="string35">
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:whiteSpace value="preserve"/>
<xsd:minLength value="1"/>
<xsd:maxLength value="35"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

stylesheet (Target is of type string35, Source is of type string70)

<Target>
<xsl:value-of select="substring(Source,1,35)"/>
</Target>

This is actually part of the "XML Schema aware" mapping enhancements that we have been thinking about for a while now; hopefully we will get to this category of mapper improvements soon.

Thanks.
