What happens in XSLT 2 when a schema is applied to assign types and
the document is invalid, either a little or a lot? Does the
transformation fail? Or does it proceed with whatever information it
has been able to deduce from the document and its schema? What if the
processor has been able to assign types to some elements and not to
others? And in general, how does the calculation of a PSVI depend on
validity?
Practical example:
<product>
<quantity>1</quantity>
</product>
Suppose product is declared to have two required child elements, name
and quantity. name is declared to be a string. quantity is declared
to be an int. When the processor reads the above document, will it
still assign the type int to the quantity element? What about this
case:
<product>
<quantity>1</quantity>
<quantity>3</quantity>
<quantity>3.4</quantity>
<quantity>Hello</quantity>
</product>
How about this case:
<products>
<quantity>1</quantity>
</products>
