still, I think that schemas can be useful in terms of synchronizing between user manipulation of data and the back end model whether is XML files, DB or even XML DB, and I'm hoping that I figure my own project in that direction out.
One of my pet peeves is that I really despite SQL ... maybe it's silly but I find working with XML much, much easier. Perhaps I just don't like to have to worry about types. Right now I am very happy to say that I think that <date></date> in an XML schema should have /no/ data type built-in, and let the software at either end figure out what the date says (or validate them) using whatever handy tools they want.
