Keeping types that operate over elment content/attributes well apart from structural validation is a big big win for RNG. If you really these types you can create them, or a whole library. Jing and MSV include basic WXS types for convenience,. The only extra types I wish I had to hand are for email/URI validation, but it's not like they're hard to plugin, were I bothered. > Why can't I do that in Relax NG?
