That's perfectly fine with me as long as WXS isn't presented as a
component of a "XML Core" box on which everything else will be built
including future releases of XSLT, XPath and even the Semantic Web.

This is the windmill against which I am trying to fight since the
presentation of Tim Berners-Lee in Hong Kong last year which clearly
shown this frightening picture:

I am quite happy to see a raising attention on this issue which is IMO
fundamental: good or not, IMO schema languages do not belong to XML Core
and it's as bad to package a schema language (any of them) in the box
named "XML Core" as packaging any programming language in this box
(Java, C#, Python or whatever).

Creating a dependency between XML and programing or design technologies
will kill the goose that lay the golden eggs and XML wouldn't be XML any
longer without its interoperability!
