I meant users requirements, defining the range of documents that need to
be covered, not "must support" requirements as shown by the quotes below
and are declarations to support whatever will be covered by W3C XML
Schema !

The XML Query Data Model MUST represent both XML 1.0 character data and
the simple and complex types of the XML Schema specification.

The XML Protocol data representation must support using XML Schema
simple and complex types. 

[3] http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20req

XML Schema: Structures and XML Schema: Datatypes enable users to define
and use both simple and structured types and associate them to elements
and attributes in a schema. XSLT 2.0 MUST provide support for the common
operations needed for matching and construction of transformed documents
based on a source document containing these typed elements and
attributes.
