The unofficial compact syntax for XSD <http://dret.net/projects/xscs> is even simpler:

 

element altitude { (xs:string)

    required attribute units {"feet", "meters"}

}

 

I like it!

 

Are there validating engines which validate XML instances against schemas that are specified using this compact syntax?

 

Are people using this compact syntax in real-world applications?

XSD has plenty of problems, but it shouldn't be blamed for the verboseness of XML as a language notation.
