This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
We don't currently say what the effect is of setting type="xs:untyped" on instructions such as xsl:element. I propose that we define it to have the same effect as setting validation="strip". Affects both 2.0 and 3.0.
The WG accepted the proposed interpretation.
We also need to consider type="xs:untypedAtomic". The decision here is that we should validate as for type="xs:string" (that is, check there are no element children) and then mark the node as xs:untypedAtomic.
Changes applied. Test cases added: validation-0107, -0108, -0109.
