Again, the mere *provision* of typing metadata does not prevent such reuse. However, if *standard tools* assume that the metadata is sound, then transgressive reuse may indeed be made difficult. Obviously, purely lexical tools are not affected, but tools based on XQuery/XPath2/XSLT2 will not be purely lexical in this sense (whereas XPath1/XSLT1 are). > Please illustrate this with a concrete example. Hard to do when the standards are still fluid and the corresponding tools not yet in wide use. -- My corporate data's a mess!
