Henry, I agree that all three parts of XML Schema are useful, although being a simpleton, I find part 0 more useful than part 1 or 2. Yes, there are people who have already used XML Schema and used it successfully. Not really surprising since XML Schema is definitely an improvement over good ol' DTD. However, your reply is missing the main point made by Edd Dumbill's article (http://www.xmlhack.com/read.php?item=1097) which is: XML Schema is controversial. Is it wise for W3C to publically recommend a controversial spec? Remember that this is a spec controversial enough to birth three other proposals, two of which were submitted to competing standard organizations. About six months ago, a friend of mine was told by her son's teacher that her son is not ready for the second grade and should repeat the first grade. This was extremely painful for her to hear and she was both embarrassed and upset for quite a long time. In the end, she moved her son to another school as a first grader. Today, her son is happy and top of his class. It is my opinion that XML Schema must take the first grade again. Best, Don Park Docuverse
