By that measure we should never have switched from SGML when XML was introduced (for documents), or never have switched from HTML (for pages), or never have switched to markup languages instead of Flash. If we were programmers we never should have been taught Java when C++ was around (but we would never have learned C++ because of COBOL) ;-) Presumably the guy has some particular educational goals and he has found RELAX NG more straightforward to use to teach with than XSD (=WSX). For example, he may have decided he does not want to burden students with discussion of ambiguity (or, more likely, he does not want to burden the tutors in labs from having to diagnose, explain and repair ambiguity errors.) I do not believe that suitability for undergraduate classes was ever a goal or requirement for WSX (=XSD). It was made as an industrial language with one set of tradeoffs. By contrast, RELAX NG was developed with limited scope as one of its designs goals, so I would hope that it would be more suited for the undergrads, poor shiny-eyed darlings that they are.
