That wasn't how I understood lax validation, but checking the relevant 
specs confirms that you're correct.

It would seem useful to have a validation mode that assigned a type of 
xs:anyType to an element that failed validation - raising errors is such 
a drastic measure to resort to in a language without the ability to trap 
those errors.
