Absolutely not. This is a very real and present danger though. Tightly coupling specifications with the intent of creating a completely closed system can also lead to a set of self-supporting logic that defies reality (i.e. makes them unusable individually, and practically unusable in toto). I personally think that XSchema, despite it's warts, is resonably extensible, a reasonable type definition system for those that need it. My contention is that not that many people really *do* need it, just as only a small minority really need validation as part of normal processing.
