This point came up rather quickly on the xml-dev list [0], which is where I first saw mention of the interview, and where the
discussion is on the question:

"Is the strong/weak/runtime typing argument over XML any different from
that debate in programming languages."

There's also some interesting debate on whether Guido indeed misunderstands, or misstated, the difference between strong and static
typing
