I'd say this item is a crucial requirement if the W3C wants to avoid a
serious fork in XML development. Efforts to impose the PSVI as part of
the XML core are not very welcome in a lot of places.
On further consideration, I probably would back off my statement above;
for example, it seems just fine to refer to the XMl schema basic type
repertoire (or hopefully, a subset of it) by reference. The problem
that worries me here is where typing information comes from, and the
supposition that types exist only as a side-effect of validation
processing. -Tim
