I think a string item doesn't make a difference. The type of a variable is a sequence type that consists of a QName and an occurrence indicator. Just having the name doesn't really help. What do you think is missing from the TypeIdentifier? It allows you to retrieve the URI, local name, and quantifier. What am I missing?
