This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The FO spec currently says: "There are no values with the type annotation xs:anySimpleType at runtime." This is one of the places where using "value" is incorrect! "value" is (unfortunately) not a synonym for atomic value but for sequence of items. So there are values (element or attribute nodes) that can have the above type annotation. Please use the term "atomic value" instead. You may want to also make it clear that you cannot have xdt:anyAtomicType as a dynamic type annotation (only as a statically inferred type).
