OK, although it will still need something over and above normal relax
validation (which is normally defined as just returning a yes or no
answer rather than annotating which elements have which types)

It would I think be near impossible to arrange that you could get the
same type annotations using relaxng and with xsd (in general)
I don't think that would be required as a conformance issue, it would
also be OK to fail on any attempt to load an xsd schema, even if you are
schema aware, the set of schemas you can load doesn't have to be the
whole web, it could be the empty set (as it might be in some embedded
systems)
