if there are no complex types in the static context (as no xsd has been
read in) then validation is pretty much a no-op isn't it? (or rather
comes down to essentially checking that the character cintent is
castable to a specified simple type)

Again if there are no complex types around and only primitive xsd simple
types I don't see why this requires XSD validation.

In otherwords is it really clear that a system that accepts a data model
with elements annotated with atomic xsd types such as xsd:double...
coming from some source other than xsd validation can not claim
conformance by supporting schema import with an empty set of available
xsd schema?
