I don't think "as long as they don't force everyone to use it" is nearly
adequate here.
There's a fundamental naming problem with XSD - it's called "XML Schema",
it's published by the W3C, and it's frequently described as a core part of
"XML".
If the W3C renames it "Type-based Description for XML Serializations" and
lets it lurk on the margins of their spec, then maybe there's some hope for
your suggestion.
In the meantime, I don't think there's much cause for those of us who find
W3C XML Schema sorely lacking (especially for data, which it claims to do
well) to be so charitable.
