Thanks Jirka, and the others who responded.
Thanks for the two papers from Murata-san which seem somewhat over
my head, I'm hoping to be able to extract some parts. My perspective is
that of a schema writer or user.

>From the list put up so far:

Relative simplicity.
Co-occurences constraints
Interleaving
Better modularity (is that subjective Jirka?)


Is the datatype library extensibility a feature of XSD too?

Are exclusions a part of XSD? (As per SGML exclusions)

Schematron extensions are (IMHO) one of the most useful
features, but I guess that's not a part of RNG.

Whilst I realise RNG is not for all projects,  I certainly find it easier than
DTD's.

The issue of ambiguity is a significant one if one wants to guarantee
that one has selected a standard tool which will guarantee that new
schemas are unambiguous.

I don't profess to understand that. How can an ambiguous grammar
be of help?
