Hi Mike, Michael Kay wrote: > Now we are in the same position with XML Schema [as with namespaces]. Future will tell, but I would think that: 1) more people will work without W3C XML Schema than without namespaces. 2) the impact on XSLT and XPath *for the users* is much bigger than the impact of namespaces. I reckon that many applications will use W3C XML Schema, but for the web sites I have designed, I don't see *any* value of adding W3C XML Schema schemas. Schematron and RELAX NG may are much better choices to validate my documents and I have no need for datatypes. For these purposes, XSLT 1.0, XPath 1.0 a EXSLT are enough (even though functions such as regular expressions which could be added through EXSLT would help) and I have no intention to migrate to XSLT and XPath 2.0... I for one would be very interested by keeping XSLT 1.0, XPath 1.0 a EXSLT alive after XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0 have been published!
