@untereiner yes

Please reopen when you are ready

@tefra I am not able to go further. I don't understand where the simpleTypes are catched and where I could filter them.
Could you help me, or point me where I have to look ?

• I think it is in one of the handlers of the FLATTEN step.
• Also reset_attribute_type and copy_attribute_properties have similar behavior

Please take a look at this branch, it's not complete, 74 tests fail in w3c-test-suite but it should give you some idea on how to proceed.

I am afraid I have other priorities to finish this one and I won't accept contributions that break the w3c-test-suite
