There are 2 things I miss information about typeIdentifier:
1. how to create a TypeIdentifier from a XQType
2. The function of xqxq is supposed to return the string of type function so getVariableType is returning the XQType toSchemaString so that the user can actually use it to cast the values of the variable, now does a typeIdentifier has a value like that? Does the localname represents that?
