I do not think that we should pay much attention to ease of migration from
TREX (or RELAX for that matter).  The number of current users is tiny
compared to the number of potential users.

I don't think this is a good idea.  In TREX, string/anyString can be thought
of as a pair (matching a specific string rather than any string).  In RELAX
NG, value/data should be thought of as a pair (matching a specific value
rather than any value); this is better because data and value have the same
restrictions about how they can be used.  We should choose names that
reflect this; I think data/value/text work quite well (for what is now
data/string/anyString).
