Chapter 11: A Closer Look at Types

Please note that the book contains many inline examples and informal tables that are not provided here.

Table 11-1. Examples of effective boolean value

Table 11-4. Examples of instance of expressions

Example	Return value
`3 instance of xs:integer`	`true`
`3 instance of xs:decimal`	`true`, because `xs:integer` is derived by restriction from `xs:decimal`
`<x>{3}</x> instance of xs:integer`	`false`, because the element node `x` is untyped, even though it happens to contain an integer
`<x>{3}</x> instance of element()`	`true`
`<x>{3}</x> instance of node()`	`true`
`<x>{3}</x> instance of item()`	`true`
`(3, 4, 5) instance of xs:integer`	`false`
`(3, 4, 5) instance of xs:integer*`	`true`
`xs:float(3) instance of xs:double`	`false`

Table 11-5. Examples of casting to xs:string and xs:untypedAtomic
