in reply to xml_writer dataElement

No. The number versus string distinction does not exist in XML, everything is a string.

    thanks...I ask because the XSD file looks like: 
    <sx:element name="Sample0" type = "sx:string"/>

and

<sx:element name="Sample1" type = "sx:unsignedshort"/>

      That is a different story. Both 1 as a string and 1 as an unsignedshort look the same in the XML, and that's what XML::Writer cares about.
