Notes on the Saxon implementation

This function will always return false in the case of an untyped node, which means it will always return false for external object models that do not support typed (schema-validated) data, such as the DOM and JDOM models. Essentially the function returns true if (a) the node is schema-validated, and (b) it has the attribute xsi:nil="true".
