Never mind the small detail that said catastrophically ignorantOh, you mean like XML Schema?

Interestingly, Michael, I think you are one of the exceedingly rare people who put WXS to practical use, and I've always been in awe of your capacity to do so. I think that 95% of WXS use is not practical at all, but rather sheer busy-work.
Of course that's just my blinkered anecdotal perspective, but I can't tell you how many times I've been got on a project and they proudly say "here's our schema!!!!!" and dump a full ream of useless, inscrutable xsd:alphabetSoup that no one really even comes close to understanding, and thus gets ignored throughout most of their actual processing.
