IBM is a member company of the W3C, so we have access to the working group documents.
Xerces already has support for an older draft of schema, and we're going to update that as the spec matures. We're trying to help the people on the working group see the potholes by implementing this early. This idea is the reason why some W3C specs now have a Candidate Recommendation period.
