Hi Noah,

Was that question addressed to me? If I understood what Henry was
saying correctly, there'd be two types, xs:anyType (with 'skip'
validation) and xs:defaultType [made up name] (with 'lax' validation).
If you wanted 'skip' validation for the content of a particular
element, you'd do:

  <xs:element name="foo" type="xs:anyType" />

If you wanted 'lax' validation for the content of that element you'd
do:

  <xs:element name="foo" type="xs:defaultType" />

or just:

  <xs:element name="foo" />

But I might have misunderstood; this might not be what Henry had in
mind.

Cheers,

Jeni
