Both.
That is, the language doesn't allow you to specify a type of two
booleans followed by an integer, for example.
But you could do this via a user-defined type in a schema-aware
processor. And Gestalt is not schema-aware.
Even with a schema-aware processor you couldn't pass a pre-typed
atomic sequence as a parameter could you? You could pass elements
that were typed, but not atomics? Maybe an example would help.
A way around it is to pass in a delimited string and the create the
sequence yourself:
<xsl:param name="str" select="'foo, 1'" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:variable name="input">
<xsl:variable name="tokens" select="tokenize($str, ',')"/>
<xsl:sequence select="(xs:string($tokens[1]), xs:integer($tokens[2]))"/>
</xsl:variable>
