If the system is sensitive to the time coupling of type creation and type
validation, no.  If not, yes.   To put it another way, I can type in XML
instances and an XML provider consumes them.  I do that when I am mocking up
screens and haven't decided how the tables should break down yet (document
oriented screen design).  So here, the schema is meaningless.  

OTOH, when I make a dataset in ASP, Visual Studio creates an XSD.  I never
see it.  Who uses it?

So when considering efficiency, are systems that promote, in
effect, no validation actually more "efficient" than systems that promote
effective partial validation...
