You're right, it does. And thank you! That was exactly the nudge I
needed.

It's not MSXML's fault at all - it's mine. It isn't failing at the
point I thought it was. It is failing earlier on during a simple well-
formedness check that shouldn't be doing validation, but
validateOnParse has been wrongly set to true although the schemacache
is empty (that seems to work unless that xsi:type is in there). The
actual validation step using the schema succeeds even in the presence
of the xsi:type.

Thanks for your help!
