Can you (or someone else) elaborate on this? I don't understand what
features are missing från RNG as a "datatyping language" (what's that?). It
has the existing datatypes from WXS, it has the ability to construct regex
patterns, it has named patterns for complex types. What's not there?

I think the day Microsoft turns to RNG will be a lucky day for XML.
