Thanks for pointing out the article, David. I *may* read it. But, I wonder this: Regardless of technical merits and deficiencies, does anyone outside of a small community of SGML/XML gurus really think that RELAX NG has a snowball's chance of success when considered against the mindshare and cachet of W3C schema? I really have no opinion on the issue, but try to meet the needs of my clients. What I hear from my clients and most of my colleagues is this: We're doing W3C schema because W3C sets the XML standards. This choice is primarily for business reasons and not technical reasons. They ask "What's RELAX NG?" Some of them even ask "Who's OASIS?"
What does anyone else on this list think? Are your companies or clients aware of RELAX NG, or interested in it? Cheers, Mike David RR Webber - XMLGlobal wrote: > FYI, > > XML.com article.
