The quick summary:
Once upon a time the XMLField accepted a schema and validated
documents against that. This hasn't been true since oldforms, yet the
documentation continues to proclaim this. Now, XMLField is basically a
TextField that takes an extra path argument. It's useless, and doesn't
validate anything.
We need to either deprecate it, provide some validation, or fix the
docs to say it doesn't do anything. We can't fix the docs till we have
a decision on this ticket.
Please weight in here or on the ticket. I'll write the patch for
whatever gets chosen.
Thanks,
-Paul

I say deprecate the field entirely. There isn't a good stdlib way to
validate XML (still!), so let's ditch it in favor of a 3rd party
solution.

Agreed. +1.
