My own experience with schema language selection is pull-based -- 
whatever sort of schema another language or tool is expecting is the 
type that I work with.  So, I started working with RELAX NG because 
nxml-mode uses RNC.  Otherwise, most of the things I touch require XSD. 
  (Also, the only tooling that I have to work with RELAX NG is 
nxml-mode...  DTD and XSD are much better supported by generally 
available tooling.)

Thus, my impression is that XSD has essentially squeezed-out RNG by 
being the default choice for the default schema language and the 
default implementations (e.g., Apache Xerces) for various tools and XML 
dialects.
