The value of schemas will increase dramatically if they are
widely adopted/employed (for example, if all XML parsers provided
a simple way to use schema validation).
I typically like to have validation early in a project to make sure all
generated data is correct (and batch validation typically suffices
here), and then later, never use it. Good for development, not useful
in the day-to-day.
