For example, say we added to XML simple typing by delimiters like this

<a b="xyz" c=123 d=false e=R23456 >...

where b is a string, c is a number, d is boolean and e is a symbol.

So which is actually simpler: implementing/understanding current XML with an XML schema, or this extended XML syntax which is trivial and conventional to parse?

I think your suggestion, <a b="xyz" c=123 d=false e=R23456 > is nice and the corresponding interpretation.

But XML schemas offer useful functionality, I believe. For e.g, consider following XSD user defined datatype,

<xs:simpleType name="IntRange">

<xs:restriction base="xs:integer">

<xs:minInclusive value="5"/>

<xs:maxInclusive value="10"/>

<xs:restriction>

</xs:simpleType>

I think, such XSD facilities offer useful functionality, and have a ready appeal.
