In his latest blog entry at O'Reilly, Rick Jelliff asks W3C to please put XSD 1.1 on hold and address the deeper underlying issues that make schemas practically useless.
I'd like to go one step further and encourage the schema working group to consider Relax NG, compact syntax, instead, as a more sensible and compact alternative to XSDs. It does everything we need from a schema language, without being impenetrable or impossibly verbose. If W3C actively endorsed Relax NG, maybe we'd get the software manufacturers to support Relax NG on a wider scale. Yes, I know, Oxygen already supports it, but there are plenty of manufacturers out there that need to follow suit.
Please.
