Regardless of whether XSchema rivals DTD notation for brevity and clarity, we 
still need it.  The compelling reason for XSchema is not besting the readability 
of DTD notation -- a visual schema editor is far clearer than both -- but making 
schema information available through XML tools (which are numerous) rather than 
DTD tools (which are not).

For this reason, I would vote against directly using RDF in XSchema, as it means 
we will have designed something we can't use.
