Thanks.  I wasn't too sure what I was after really... faced with someone questioning the need for schemas I was a little stumped on what to say.  I provided the usual answers, but thought it might be helpful if I could point them to a w3schools style page or article (which I couldn't find).

Well, it's not an article, and I'm guessing that much of it is aimed at a slightly more technical audience than you might have in mind, but in 2002 I gave a DevCon talk, the slides for which Sam Ruby has kindly posted on his Intertwingly blog at [1].  At least one of the slides nets out my views on that, though at a pretty high level.  In case it's of help, the contents of the pertinent slide (#9) are:


What are schemas for?


* Contracts:  agreeing on formats

* Tool building: know what the data will be before the first instance shows up
    * Database integration
    * User interface tools
    * Programming language bindings

* Validation:  make sure we got what we expected
