SOAP toolkits wouldn't be anywhere near as appealing to the average
developer if it wasn't for this "feature". As much as I love the simplicity
and elegance of RELAX NG, it's simply not suitable for generating
language-specific bindings that can both generate and parse XML.
Murata-san's ooRelaxNG (which I haven't actually seen yet but have seen
references to in the RELAX NG mailing list archive) may change things,
however.
