All comments are welcome.

Subject: Schematron/Schema market share

Does anyone out there use schematron in addition to schema?  I am guessing schematron has about 0.1 % of market share.  It looks like an interesting technology we may use to define some of our document formats that cannot be completely described in schema. If path or semantics dependancies exists in an XML document, I think it is reasonable to expect clients to validate with schematron if they choose;  otherwise, they can use schema with some custom imperative code (i.e. VB) to verify the semantic dependancies.
