RE: So, what's new in the world of RELAX NG?


RE:  So
Yep.   The network effect would be the discovery by users 
that RelaxNG is a productivity enhancer and being adopted 
by significant numbers of partners.

1.  If application language developers for the W3C and other 
organizations adopt it, that is a positive feedback effect.  
See Robin's note on SVG. 

2.  If at least one tool vendor of note implements it, that will couple 
to the effect in item one.  How strong the effect is, I don't know.  
In a market where 'good enough' is provided, it is hard to create 
demand for marginal items without playing Tootsie Fruitsie.

Maybe the question is, how expensive is it to implement and 
integrate RelaxNG tools?   For VS, possibly high given that 
XSD is coupled tightly and hidden as much as possible in VS.

As you point out Betamax lost out because video stores couldn't afford
to support multiple formats. What makes you think the same doesn't apply
for tools vendors and integrating mutltiple schema languages into their
tools and frameworks? Simply having the W3C start trumpetting RELAX NG
as the second coming isn't enough. You have to have paying customers
asking tools vendors to bear the costs of supporting multiple schema
languages.
