I'd strongly suggest that we avoid pushing this to a naming of XML founders who aren't especially fond of XML Schema. James Clark and Murata Makoto are already quite open about their distaste for XML Schema, but I doubt Murali Mani was speaking for anyone explicitly. Comparing the nature of the XML 1.0 project, slimming down SGML to a much more usable subset, and the nature of the XML Schema project, which in my view spent most of its time reconciling a large number of features piled on top of XML, does seem like a worthwhile approach, however. But you've probably already seen (and disagreed with): http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/02/28/eightytwenty.html I'm hardly a founder, but I think I've spent enough time on this to digest some of the lessons of the initial project.
