Well, remember, the way it is now, you ***will*** get a PSVI even with
no-schema processing.  It's just that all the types will be xs:anyType or
xs:anySimpleType, and all the validation flags will be set to "not
validated".  Presumably, that PSVI will closely resemble the infoset you
would get today, if only the XPATH  model used the infoset at all.

If the default types are xs:anyType, etc., I wonder how XPATH can be
extended in the future to allow other schema systems, like RELAX NG.  Maybe
it won't be so hard to do if the PSVI info includes just the schema
namespace and type names.

Cheers,
