Content validation against datatypes isn't an added cost? Or not ten times as much of an added cost? Hmm... what about exception handling, error message localization, schema validation, schema parsing time. And what of validation against true WXS value and lexical spaces, vs. approximating them through language type mapping? What about costs of code generation (and proxy layering on top of that), schema document resolution, and workarounds for incompatibilities in parsers and schema validators? It's more complex. Maybe not ten times, but it feels like it.
