> Not xs:boolean? I thought someone would offer this... :) But xs:boolean is a special case (shall I say restriction) of the xs:integer type. Certainly, it is equivalent to a binary digit and with a binary digit one can build everything. I think in math one can start just with 0 and 1 and then build everything else, and the name of Peano comes to mind. In case we want to skip a few theoretical steps for convenience, we will have the xs:integer type. -- Cheers, Dimitre Novatchev --------------------------------------- Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence. --------------------------------------- To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk ------------------------------------- Never fight an inanimate object ------------------------------------- You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what you're doing is work or play On Wed, Apr 15, 2009 at 9:52 AM, Michael Kay <mike@s...> wrote: >> >> And the most primitive datatype in any type system clearly is: >> >> Â Â Â Â xs:integer. >> > > Not xs:boolean? > > Michael Kay > http://www.saxonica.com/ > >
