partial implementations of W3C XML Schema?

As long as we're having a schema-fest, I've got another question.

How many partial implementations of W3C XML Schema are out there?

I don't mean just buggy or bankrupt - I mean developers who've built as 
much as they find useful and don't realistically plan to move 
further.  Key/keyref was the classic case a while back, though people 
promised that "they'd get to it."

The only genuinely partial implementation I'm presently aware of is a Sun 
library for data type processing:

Sun may, of course, be cooking a part 1 implementation and just hasn't 
announced it, but for now...
