It's unclear to me what creative uses of xsi:type could do here. Last I checked 
xsi:type couldn't give types (such as xsd:ID) to attributes. It could give an 
element a type that itself has an attribute of type xsd:ID, but I fail to see 
how that would alleviate using a schema, since the type would have to be known 
somewhat. Am I missing something?
