From the experience of the people in my introductory XML class, they like the compact syntax because it's easier to read and less to type. Also, it does not look like XML, so there is no confusion about which one is the target document and which one is the grammar. Personally, I am more used to the XML syntax of Relax NG, so I am stil doing a mental translation from XML when I write the compact syntax. The class hasn't done XML Schema, but I have given them dire warnings about it, so their further experiences are going to be skewed. I am in the "is this document valid" camp, not the "what data types does this document contain" crowd. Thus, my reaction to XML Schema is to flee, shrieking. Even easy things seem to be complicated with XSD. Consider the simple example (shown at http://relaxng.org/pipermail/relaxng-user/2003-October/000079.html) which I have used when teaching Relax NG. I just could *not* get it to work in Schema. --- J. David Eisenberg http://catcode.com/
