The use of dataTypes in Saxon-B (DOM)

Hi, does the getSchemaTypeInfo() method in Saxon's DOM Element Node implmentation do anything? My thought is the parser have to look at the schema and get the data-types of the element and attributes. However the Saxon-B is not Schema aware so is it fair to say this would always return untyped?

The Javadoc says that it will always return null if the node is untyped (which is always the case in Saxon-B). Looking at the code, however, I think it might return a SchemaType object representing the type xs:untyped. Saxon-SA will, if the element has been validated against a schema, return an object representing the type annotation.
