Re:  getting type information in xslt 2.0
What problem makes you believe introspecting type annotations is the solution?


When producing a partial application (function) FXSL needs to discover the actual types of the arguments used so far in order to be able to re-construct the arguments with exactly those types later, when all arguments for the original function have been collected.

For primitive (atomic, built-in) xml schema types this is done here:

Florent Georges has worked on a way to copy the type information of complex (user-defined) types -- but in this case it is just a copy operation, not really getting access to the type information itself:

Unfortunately, we have not been able to extend any of these two
solutions to solve the problem addressed by the other solution.
