This is exactly the message I took away from various Schema discussions at XML 2001. There is more information on the ISO DSDL effort at http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2001-12-13-a.html Quoting liberally from Robin Cover, DSDL includes: Grammar-oriented schema languages validate the structure of information items in an instance conforms to a set of constraints described by a tree grammar. This Part is initially based on RELAX NG. Primitive data type semantics. This Part is initially based on a subset of primitive data types and their facets from Part 2 of W3C XML Schema. Path-based integrity constraints. The non-hierarchical links between information items in a structured resource can be reconstituted by addressing the items and expressing the relationship between them found in the original graph of information. This Part is initially based on Schematron. Object-oriented schema languages. Object-oriented schema languages validate the structure of information items in an instance conforms to a set of constraints described using inheritance. These constraints can be useful when using XML in conjunction with object- oriented concepts used widely in modern programming languages (e.g., Java) and modern modeling languages (e.g., UML). This part is initially basd on W3C XML Schema. As for market share, "don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin ... and the times they are a changin'"
