Yes, exactly that's what I had in mind when I said that the stylesheet
ought have a way of declaring schema types independently of schema.
in otherwords XSLT can make a lot of use of schema part 2, but basically
nothing of schema part 1.
An alternative to stylesheet-wide declaration as above one could have
an xoath level casting functions so
<xsl:sort select="@date"/>
would sort dates if the first declaration above matched, otherwise @date
would sort as a string, but you could force date semantics locally with
something like
<xsl:sort select="xf:string-to-date(@date)"/>
where string-to-date just casts the data to the date type.
