But you could probably identify from the schema whether it's possible in a
valid instance to have an element with an attribute of type ID and a child
called "bar" that itself has a child called "baz", couldn't you? It seems
like there is still utility, though not a panacea. It could catch a typo
like "id('foo')/baz/bar".

This sounds cool to me.
