What you can not do is refer to such a type by > name. Roger's primary aim was to take advantage of type information to get good compile-time error checking, in particular to detect "impossible" path expressions. In both XQuery and XSLT this depends on declaring the types of parameters to functions (and in XSLT, the type of the match pattern for a template rule). The processor won't detect statically that $x/a/b/c is "impossible" unless it knows that $x is an element whose complex type is a statically known type T. And if $x is a parameter to a function, you can only achieve that if either the element declaration or the type (or both) are global. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
