I know of no public statements by MS that they
will not be supporting XML Schemas. I don't
know their timetable, and I don't know whether
they will support XML Schemas exclusively, or
also maintain XML-DR for some time too (e.g.
for BizTalk legacy.)

I know of no XML-Schema-lite proposal that is
being publically mooted. RELAX core is a near
subset, but full RELAX goes in areas that XML
Schemas does not.
