It depends, I think. Your schema may be defining an envelope, where you want to allow anything. Or, since a standard is an agreement, you might have finished short on agreeing everything, so you just standardize as far as you could. Or you may want to allow annotation and evolution. Or you may want to have alternative versions if the same info. Or you may hate Pis or want nested PIs. or you may be showhorning where your ultimate target system requires more info than the standard schema allows. Depending on which of these, you may write your procressing software to step or fail these foreign elements. But a better approach to evolution is to allow alternatives. The heavyweight in this area MicroSoft's MCE (markup contract and extension) which lets you put in parallel versions of the same info using different vocabularies.
