I think ...

Schema type annotation will be attached to the element node, <foo/>
only if the document is validated before XSLT processes it (for e.g.,
with -val:strict Saxon option).

After the XSLT process is invoked with -val:strict option, then the
test, <xsl:if test="$foo instance of schema-element(foo)"> would check
if the type attached to the node (denoted by $foo)  is same as Schema
type 'foo'. The Schema needs to be imported into the stylesheet with
xsl:import-schema instruction for schema-element(foo) to work.
