### atomize

    public Value atomize(NodeInfo node)
                  throws XPathException

  Get the typed value of a node that is annotated with this schema type. The result of this method will always be consistent with the method `getTypedValue(net.sf.saxon.om.NodeInfo)`.

    `isSameType` in interface `SchemaType`

    public String getDescription()

  Description copied from interface: `SchemaType`
  Get a description of this type for use in error messages. This is the same as the display name in the case of named types; for anonymous types it identifies the type by its position in a source schema document.

    `getDescription` in interface `SchemaType`
  Returns:
    text identifing the type, for use in a phrase such as "the type XXXX".
