Similarly, suppose you have

   @param string x

how do you decide what XML Schema type should be used for string?  What
if the string is holding binary data, so that it needs to be base64
encoded in the XML?  How do you handle different encodings for the
string (e.g. UTF-8 vs ISO-8859-1)?  What if the string is holding an ISO
8601 date-time stamp?

It doesn't seem at all simple to me.
