Hmm, does that mean that for example in Apache Tika where I'm just
interested in reading stuff from .xlsx (and other ....x files), I
wouldn't need the ooxml-schemas dependency?

Sorry, no. The original question was just about writing, hence my 
phrasing. If you want to work with the ooxml files, you do need the 
ooxml-schemas file. Unfortunately, the spec for the ooxml files is pretty 
large, hence the large schema size, and the large xmlbeans compiled jar 
file.

I'm not sure it'd be possible to only pick out and compile the bits 
of the schema that are relevant to text extraction, but I guess it might 
be worth a bit of investigating if the file size of ooxml-schemas is 
proving very problematic
