RE: [relax-ng] converting relax ng schema to w3c schema?

[David RR Webber - XMLGlobal <Gnosis_@compuserve.com>]

Remember the old Chinese proverb - "Eat shit - a billion flies cannot be
wrong!"

I have this mental image of XML Schema being a helicopter.  The aviators
definition of a helicopter is 100,000 parts moving together in very 
close formation.   Schema certainly requires that level of maintenance
and trained technicians to support it.   And the tactical business use is
similarly limited to descrete mission envelopes.

Also - I think without XMLSpy stepping up and actually making 
Schema useable to a point - then Schema would be a very much
worse shape today.  XMLSpy literally made Schema happen
single handed.

But that's all history - we now need to focus on how we get RELAX
into mainstream...

the mistake I have made in the past is that I felt that I didn't need to be
harsh because the problems with XML Schema are obvious, but perhaps not
obvious enough, given current adoption rates.
