| to serialize information about element types, at least, directly into
| an XML document.

What do you mean? Are you asking that xsi:type attributes be used even
when documents aren't (WXS) schema validated?

| In addition, an xdt:attributeTypes attribute would be a Good Thing:
| this would have list-of-QName type, and would alternate an attribute name
| with its type.

Where would this appear and what function would it serve?
