How to determine element-type ?

Dear XSL-Experts,

refering to an XML-File and its apropriate Schema-File, I want determine the
type
of the simple content elements in the XML-File. 
For example 

<float>10.0<float>

would be the float Type.
Is it possible to determine the type of a simple content element within
an XSL-Stylesheet by using the apropriate Schema ?

Thank you for your efforts and best regards,

André Mengel
