I'm not sure I understand that claim. If the type is a CryptoBinary, it has
no structure as far as the schema knows, and it couldn't be changed later to
have a different content model without breaking implementations.

If you're trying to say that the internals of the CrytoBinary data are
structured in some way, I would suggest using an annotation or somethng like
that. There's not much else you can do with the schema.
