> 15. Thus, an XML processor interprets the byte 00110001 as representing the character 1 whereas an XML Schema validator interprets the same byte  as representing the Boolean value "true."

The xsd processor works at the character level, not the byte level...
it won't know why the underlying byte for 1 was. (assuming the xsd
processor uses an xml parser to parse the xsd).
