Exactly. And that's where "effortlessness" (or TDLL(1)) comes into play.

Your problem statement is well understood. So in your view,
"interpretation" of TREX is just datatype for every attribute and some
text, right?
Well, I need some time to think about. Off the top of my head, datatype
ambiguity and label ambiguity are essentially the same thing.
<choice>
<element name="e">
<attribute name="a" type="integer" />
<ref name="foo" />
</element>
<element name="e">
<attribute name="a" type="string" />
<ref name="bar" />
</element>
</choice>
Because for the case like this, the algorithm have to check whether those
two "e" are ambiguous, to determine datatype ambiguity.
So my impression is that the algorithm will be very naive (powerless?)
