The item of interest, however, is this snippet:

<xsl:if test="data(bk:ISBN) instance of bk:ISBN-type">
<ISBN><xsl:value-of select="bk:ISBN"/></ISBN>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
The for-loop iterates through each Book and checks to see if the
value of its ISBN element conforms to ISBN-type; if it doesn't
conform, then it skips that ISBN and goes to the next Book.
In the XML document shown above, the Book element has an ISBN
(xxx1-56592-235-2) that is not valid, so I expect my XSLT program to skip it.
However, that is not happening. I get this error message:
The content "xxx1-56592-235-2" of element <ISBN> does not
match the required simple type. Value "xxx1-56592-235-2"
contravenes the pattern facet "\d{1}-\d{5}-\d{3}-\d{1}|\d{1}-..."
of the type ISBN-type
Yep! Because I think you are taking one step too far. I haven't
tested it, but I think this will work for you:
test="string(bk:ISBN) instance of bk:ISBN-type">
What am I doing wrong please?
You are enforcing the schema constraint by using data() before
checking that the content conforms to the constraint. In my code I'm
simply getting the value as a string, thus not imposing any
constrains, and then checking that string to be convertible to the
said constraints.
Please let me know if that works for you.
I hope it helps.
