The convenience of annotating the tree from the schema is just too large. Given a schema and a design for an application, the application designer can decide whether the application needs to be built on top of a schema processor or not. If it needs archetype, default, etc. then it must be, otherwise it does not need to be. Clearly language designers would have to start taking responsibility for performance.
