"- The [validity] property exists and is not "valid", or the [validition 
attempted] property exists and is not "full", the schema type of an element is 
xs:anyType and the type of an attribute is xdt:untypedAtomic."

Wasn't that changed in Brisbane to be xs:anySimpleType for attributes? 

The Brisbane minutes are not a 100% clear. The advantage of xdt:untypedAtomic 
is that since that is the atomized dynamic type in this case anyway, it gives 
a better static type inference since we can statically assume such attributes 
(eg. in lax validation contexts) to be always untyped. The advantage of 
xs:anySimpleType is that it is aligned with schema.
