XML Schema for lightweight clients?

Dear XML Schema WG,

XML Schema is designed to make all kinds of contributions
to the schema-validated infoset.

The distinction between validating and non-validating XML
parsers has proven to be unsatisfactory; a third category
(not fully validating but doing entity expansion and in
particular default attribute instantiation) has been proposed,
based on the experience with the use of XML.

I have not found any consideration of this aspect in
XML Schema part 1/2, and I think this is a serious problem
that should be fixed. This should allow conformant
lightweight clients that do not loose essential information
while not checking every detail.

Regards,   Martin.
