Hmm, the actual instantiation looks like invalid data. If the leaf is an identityref with "foo-type" as its base, then permitted values are exactly those "foo-type-[1-9]". If the server supports a particular type, then I would expect it to implement a module where the identity corresponding to that type is defined.
