"Yes, working with the XSD specification is a nightmare; it's the toughest spec I've ever had to work with other than Algol 68, and unlike Algol 68, some of the apparent formality turns out to be spurious; when it gets to tricky things that ought to be formal, like whether two types are identical, the spec bails out."
