No.
I know of several places where folks are doing schema validation on *their
own output* as well as everywhere they get an incoming XML message.
Perhaps they are less sanguine than you are about bugs. Or more
realistic. :) They are also concerned about malicious parties introducing
bad data.
These are mostly financial institutions. As some of them have some of my
money, I'm glad they are so cautious.
