One more comment :P

I don't really agree with the section on XML Schemas either. Having to specify 
"Type" at the end of a type name reminds me too much of hungarian notation 
( int intThis ). It is not necessary in the least to have this in the name to 
infer that the declaration is for a type, I mean, it is in the freaking tag 
itself!

Eg, how is this:

        <xsd:element name="container" type="containerType" />

...more clear than:

        <xsd:element name="container" type="container" />

Not to mention that this guideline once again does not follow actual practice 
already in use in KDE ( see kdeui/kxmlgui.xsd or 
kdecore/kconfig_compiler/kcfg.xsd for example, or my own recently posted 
http://kopete.kde.org/files/kopetemessage.xsd. None of the names of custom 
types in these files end in "Type" )
