Rick, I'm going to have to disagree here. This isn't a XML Schema problem, it's a problem with any poorly designed data model. This can happen with SchemaTron and RelaxNG as well, not just XML Schema. You can apply agile techiniques, with continuous integration, and adaptability with XML Schema...I do it every day. XML Schemas doesn't encourage a big bang theory, you can build in modular sections..it's really the approach of the designers not the schema language that influences how something is done. Bad designs and big bang approaches happen in any of the schema languages if implemented poorly.
