Life in a Type-free World
(DTD-valid or well-formed, for example)
You do not want something dealt with as untyped-atomic,
but you don’t have a schema either

- cast starts with an existing value and
creates
a new value of the specific type
- Syntax
source-type
cast as
target-type
- Or make types using constructor functions
