The XQuery type system is based on W3C XML Schema. To claim otherwise
implies you haven't read the document. Besides the fact that it says so
explicitly[0], in section 3 entitled 'The XQuery Type System' where it
states
"The XQuery type system is based on XML Schema. XML Schema defines a
notion of validation for XML documents."

Oh yes, I read that. I wonder why
[[
define element entry { type Book }
define type Book {
attribute isbn { xs:string },
element title { xs:string },
element author { xs:string }*,
}
]]
looks so awful much like the RELAXNG non-XML syntax :-)))) But I am glad
they are soooo careful to let us know that this is based on XML Schema --
including the "interleave" feature...
In any case I am pleased with what they've done, not why they said they
needed to do it, nor how they claimed to have gotten the idea (both XQuery
and RELAXNG appear to be derived from XDuce to where the real credit should
be given).
