WXS  => W3C XML Schema
XSDL => XML Schema Definition Language
 
Which one gives a more accurate picture of the technology?

	I've been seeing the acronym WXS to describe XML Schema for a long time on
	this mailing list, and I have no idea where it came from. It's likely to
	confuse people since the acronym is never used on the W3C site, and it
	simply isn't the name of a schema language.
	
	Is there a reason for not calling this language W3C XML Schema or XSDL, the
	official name and acronym for the language respectively?
