I suspect that the diversity of schema languages is going to be one of 
the issues people will face in 2027. People will have to be able to 
understand XML governed by a mix of DTDs, W3C XML Schema (in different 
versions?), Relax-NG, and several other schema languages that haven't 
yet been invented.

Of course, in many cases they may just ignore the schemas, or use the 
schemas just as reading material to help them understand the basic 
structure. And if we're lucky, there will be tools to convert all the 
major legacy schemas into TOTSL (The One True Schema Language).
