There are certainly cases where these XML beans alike tools fail, and  
that XML Schema was a bad idea is not new to anyone ...

The point is, it's somewhat like with the magic rule of optimisation:
1. Don't do it
2. (For real experts) Do it later

If you fancy writing your own XML parser
1. Don't do it
2. (For real experts) Only do it if you've tried everything else
