How are you going to process passthrough fields? They can be any type in 
database.

I would vote for ADODB xml schema. I used it for a while in one project, 
it really does nice things. However I foresee problems with 
"multiplyDatabaseFileSize" (or how it was called?) - adodb xml schema is 
not easy to modify on the fly. But it is not a problem: there is nothing 
that we cannot solve in typo3 :D
