I am confused about this statement. Could somebody please help me understand this. For e.g., if the XML document is: <root> <x id="attrVal"> <y>123</y> </x> </root> Then what is the typed value of element node, say <x> according to this definition? Regards, Mukul 19793 1 mike 2008-04-12 14:39:01 +0000 If there is no schema or the schema defines x as having mixed content, then the typed value is "123" (with some surrounding whitespace unless you chose to remove it), as an instance of xs:untypedAtomic. If the schema defines x as having element-only content, then attempting to get the typed value throws an error. This is explained in bullet 4 of the section that you refer to, which itself is a summary of the rules given in the XDM data model specification. 19794 2 mukul_gandhi 2008-04-12 18:09:53 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > If there is no schema or the schema defines x as having mixed content, then the > typed value is "123" (with some surrounding whitespace unless you chose to > remove it), as an instance of xs:untypedAtomic.
