Since you mentioned Google, I thought I'd try a Google search on 
"XSDL". Interesting. The first link to an address in the w3c.org domain 

was to a message in the xmlschema-dev archives on the second page; 
there were no other links to w3c.org in the first 10 pages of results. 
So, perhaps searchability is a reason to avoid acronyms altogether, but 

it is evidently not a reason to prefer XSDL.

FWIW.
