Re:  Using @validation and @type?
I donbt import a schema, and, for that matter, I donbt transform a
document. I create temporary elements inside the stylesheet and I want some of
their attributes to be typed as integers. Ibm not trying to validate
anything except the typing on these ephemeral elements.
