Sure, Henry, but that is what SOAP needs. It doesn't
mean that is what all applications of XML need. How
about well-considered alternatives for applications
that don't need reliable type assertions? I like XML Schema for
some kinds of work and given the size of the disks
I can get these days, my toolbox isn't THAT full.

I doubt it -- the reason for SOAP's dependence on XML Schema is that
XML Schema provides type assertions for all constituents of the
message payload, and SOAP marshalling and unmarshalling depend (sensibly)
on this. RELAX NG is constitutionally incapable of providing reliable
type assertions.
