I realize we're a little far along for brand-new suggestions, but in trying to think of a good short name that connotes the qualities of the language well-- a TREX-RELAX mix, a minimalist approach-- I thought of a couple I think would work well (in order of preference): 1. MiX XML Schema 2. MiXML Schema In the case of the first, including "XML Schema" in the official name may seem redundant, but I still think it's important for it to be there (and there are many other abbreviations that are redundant in a similar way, so it's not that unusual). Take your pick on pronouncing the second: "my XML schema" (like MySQL) or "mix-imal schema". And a couple more short names: 3. LuX XML Schema 4. NuXML Schema The first in the "let there be light" sense, "fiat lux"-- which would make a nice promotional tagline for the language, and one that would lend itself to a nice logo. Second of course is "new XML schema" And I don't think including "XML Schema" or "Schema" in the official name would actually make any of the names unwieldy in practice. I'm sure that once people are familiar with it, they'll just use the first part when refering to it-- i.e. MiX, MiXML, LuX, or NuXML. > To start the decision making process, please could anybody who cares > send a message with the names they find acceptable in order of > preference. > > Here's my list (most preferred first): > > 1.
