[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] [no subject]I wonder: * Why is xdt:anyAtomicType not an abstract type? Why wouldn't it make sense to make it abstract? * In what circumstances is it useful to have values of type xdt:anyAtomicType? For example, XSL-T 2.0 defines it as one of the available builtin types, but doesn't refer to it otherwise(AFAICT). If it was arranged such that xdt:untypedAtomic didn't exist and hence no type promotion from xdt:untypedAtomic existed, and that xdt:anyAtomicType was the type for untyped data which via the "17.4 Casting within a branch of the type hierarchy" became appropriate types, the scenario would look differently(IMHO, AFAICT). And that's also a question, why is it arranged such that type promotion from xdt:untypedAtomic is used instead of down-casting from xdt:anyAtomicType? Pointers to available(as in beer, unfortunately) documentation is appreciated. Cheers, Frans
