I don't agree with this.  I believe that has been the power.

Each time when I have to mess with namespaces there is at least some struggle in getting it to work properly:

* default versus prefixed namespace
* resolution of the xsd is always a problem as we want to publish it online, but we want all to run ok without internet connection.  so we need to provide the xsd as a resources as well.  then resolution of how it finds the xsd becomes non trivial and has to do with catalogue configuration and things like that.
* elementFormDefault and attributeFormDefault.  i've struggled a lot with those and still not get all the possible combinations

this will make it a lot more difficult to plug in custom event listeners or activity types.

...and i'm not saying that we should ditch schema and namespaces.  i'm only saying it's a requirement that it should also work without validation and namespaces.
