Bad analogy: it's becoming more and more obvious that dynamically typed 
languages like Python are the wave of the future. C is statically but 
weakly typed. I do think the analogy has some relevance, though I'm not 
sure how much; but it actually suggests that we should avoid strong, 
static typing in XML; not that we should add it.
