I'm not really fond of having a predefined schema for application type xml. reasons: 1) in my opinion is too early to figure out what should be in the schema given that we don't have lot of apptypes (or identified what we will support in future) 2) I like to draw an example from Apache Ant. Correct me if im wrong but they purposely don't have a schema to validate tags in build.xml file. why ? because they if they do they can't introduce any ant tasks/types with out changing the schema. (- it becomes a bottleneck - and brings a lot of backward compatibility issues).
What do you guys think? @Punnadhi: BTW is it possible to have un-Marshal xml if the xml document contains UN-recognized tags?
