Give Michael the RMS award for DIY-ism!

Err, less than six months for a great programmer steeped in XML and 
involved in discussions
about XQuery/XPath2/XSLT and its type system, and attending conferences, 
and
who is on personal terms with many people involved in designing the 
language.
It may take a couple of extra days for someone else :-)

(I have heard rumours that some people find the XML Schemas specifications
a little hard to follow in a couple of places.)
