No problem. RNG is simply a validation language. It doesn't change the
data model, it either lets it through or not. So if XPath 2.0 supports
typeless documents (which it does) then it also supports documents that
have passed RNG validation.

I think people are actually making far too much fuss about this. I don't
personally think that all the type-related work that's gone into XPath
2.0 is worth the effort that's been put into it, but apart from delaying
the spec, I don't think it does any harm at all to people who don't want
to use it. And whatever the impression here and on xml-dev might be, the
fact is that there are a great many people investing very heavily in XML
Schema.
