  <description>
    <p>
      The XML::Schema::Type module is a base class for objects that
      represent XML Schema types.  The module also loads the
      <module>XML::Schema::Type::Simple</module> and
      <module>XML::Schema::Type::Complex</module> modules (which may
      go on to load further modules of their own).  Thus, it should
      usually be sufficient to <code>use XML::Schema::Type;</code>
      and expect all relevant datatype related modules to be loaded.
