I don't do much schema-work in general; here at Antarctica we use DTDs for all our interchange & config files (and somebody else does that). But someone said they needed a schema for the son-of-RSS work, and I volunteered. I used the compact syntax, which is just remarkably easy to read and write. So, having now done one serious (albeit small) project with RelaxNG, I really REALLY wonder why anyone would use anything else? In particular because, if you use the Trang tool, you get an XML Schema for free. Of course the XML Schema can't cover a whole bunch of cases that are easy with RNG, and is much harder to read and understand, but hey, if that's what you want, you got it. (Details at http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2003/07/09/PieSchema01, but it's not a very interesting schema). -- Cheers, Tim Bray (ongoing fragmented essay: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/)
