public abstract class BuiltInType
extends Object

This non-instantiable class acts as a register of Schema objects containing all the built-in types: that is, the types defined in the "xs" namespace.

Previously called BuiltInSchemaFactory; but its original function has largely been moved to the two classes BuiltInAtomicType and BuiltInListType
