XSLT and XML Schema (WAS: RE: [xml-dev] W3C Schema: Resistance is Futile, says Don Box)

I was wondering how this list feels about the current draft of XSLT2.0
and it's use of XML Schemas. IMHO, the choice of outsourcing this "type
importing" functionality in a way to be transparent to XSLT, could
result in the ability to use types from various schema languages but
XSLT 2.0 from what I understand does take XML Schema for granted. Anyone
want to make it clearer for me?
Regards,

Manos
