Yes. I think you have to go into schema-aware processing wholeheartedly to
get the benefits. It's not really something you can do by halves.

No, a schema-aware processor can handle both typed and untyped input
documents.

There's a chapter in my book, but it was written before I had any real

few talks (the next one is in Prague on Saturday, but I think they're
full...)
