I'm not suggesting replacing -- XML Schema is a good way of  
describing things that have only remote connections with XML, such as  
object systems, people that are happy with it should stick to it.

But as a user confronted with the choice between a number of systems,  
given a choice between using a solution that offer RelaxNG and one  
that offers XML Schema, I'll pick the former with my eyes closed as I  
know it'll cut my costs (and having jumped through the hoops of using  
XML Schema, I have a notion of what those costs are).
