Re:  Backward and forward compatible schemas ...  Relax NG -->
I agree with Dave here.  It's not in the best interests of fair play to  
make a blanket statement about W3C XML Schema based on what is, to be  
honest, something of an edge case.  In practice, people regularly create  
suitably backwards and forwards compatible Schemas using W3C XML Schema,  
and that reality shouldn't be overlooked.

Cheers, Tony.
