// }Notice that "familyName" and "givenName" are not transformed. This is probably because these fields both of the @type http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string. Setting the @type in the input data does not cause this problem. But, you shouldn't be required to provide a @type for strings as http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string should be assumed if no type has been provided.
