Some of you may have seen the debate over on xml-dev started by
Tim Bray's message:
http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200206/msg00039.html

Which is basically to a pointer to a message of James Clark:
http://www.imc.org/ietf-xml-use/mail-archive/msg00217.html


In the message James discusses some unfortunate aspects of W3C Schema
and the bad effects that standardising on a badly specified language
(W3C Schema) over (say) Relax NG would have (admittedly James as a
co-author of Relax NG might not be the most impartial judge...).

He was talking abut use within IETF protocols, but when we look at the
damage being inflicted to XPath in XPath2 by tying it so closely to W3C
Schema, I think maybe there are some lessons to be learned, and maybe it
us still not too late to get the Working Groups to change course on
Xpath.
