public interface ChoiceType
Interface representing either an XPath-defined choice type or an XSD-defined (pure) union type. The two cases are slightly different. The instances of an XSD-defined union are always atomic items, and they always support (for example) casting from string. But the coercion rules for both cases are very similar.
