If an element matches <any> with processContents=skip, but has an xsi:type attribute, may/must it be assessed? Schema-Validity Assessment (Element) disallows finding an element declaration or laxly validating using the ur-type when the context-determined declaration is skip, but does not mention skip in section 1.2 which includes the xsi:type case. It seems most reasonable to me that an element matching skip should be completely untouched by the validator, just like an element outside the validation-root.
