XQuery currently allows you to validate against a global element declaration
but not against a type. With schema-aware XSLT and XQuery you may often want
to validate document fragments. So I'm in favour of using global element
declarations almost everywhere. By contrast, I don't think an anonymous type
does much harm, because it's a completely undisruptive change to promote it
subsequently to a named type. I tend to make all my simple types global,
because they are very often reused, but I often keep complex types local.
