Probably someone has mentioned this, but one approach might be based on
Michael's attributes:

  http://www.w3.org/2002/04/xmlschema-psvi-in-xml

I also think there is merit in something like the following:

<xdm:typed-document>
   <xdm:type>
      <rdf:bag>
          <xs:string/>
          <xs:unsignedShort length="4" />
      </rdf:bag>
   </xdm:type>
   <xdm:data>
      <address>
        <city>Sydney</city>
        <postcode>2009</city>
      </address>
   </xdm:data>
</xdm:typed-document>

Where the original document can be reconstructed merely by taking the
/*/*[2]/* branch, and there is one element in the type branch for every
element in the data branch.

Cheers
