Questions have been raised episodically about the usability of W3C's 'XML Schema' formalism (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/): does it attempt too much?, is the spec hard to understand?, is the notation excessively verbose?, etc. Despite these doubts, the WD specification seems to make sense to a growing number of developers. I note (anecdotically) that W3C XML Schema (.xsd) is used as the principal meta-level specification in two important projects, announced recently: "DIG35: Metadata Standard for Digital Images" http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/dig35.html "Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI)" http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/uddi.html These are not lightweight or trivial XML applications. Cheers, all. Robin Cover
