I thought the same of XSLT, and here I am on a Saturday morning working 
with XSLT.

I think RELAX NG's non-XML syntax works because the model in RELAX NG works 
pretty simply.  I have a very very hard time picturing a non-XML syntax for 
W3C XML Schema, and I'm not sure that it would be any more readable or 
workable than the XML syntax.

I'd love to be proven wrong on that one.
