What kind of system are you talking about? And where? 'cause I haven't seen 
many of the kind you're talking about either. In most systems I've seen in 
production, if you ignore the schema whenever you feel like it (provided that 
you can do it in the authoring environment, that is), you're going to mess up 
something, and a manual fix will be required.

IMHO, XML's biggest mistake was to make validation optional.
