It was John's posts on XML-Dev that made me look at
RELAX and recommend it to the Web3DC as an alternative
for the existing X3D DTD and schema. Given enough
demand, it might be done.
While some might say they don't have enough time in the
day to process all of the messages posted here, others
might say it is easier to quickly ascertain the importance
here than to manage and sort a dozen separate lists.
Once RELAX has a large enough following and desktop
support, then it is likely that a separate list with
it's own infrastructure would be useful and efficient.
I suppose it comes down the demographic of the target
of the discussion topic.

Very much on topic: we are about XML technologies, of which RNG is
definitely one;
it's about validation of XML documents, quite independently of whether a
particular RNG schema is expressed in XML or not.

I agree that this would be a Good Thing, and if someone will supply infra
structure, I'd be happy to answer newbie questions.

"The exception proves the rule." Dimbulbs think: "Your counterexample
proves
my theory." Latin students think "'Probat' means 'tests': the exception
puts
the rule to the proof." But legal historians know it means "Evidence for an
exception is evidence of the existence of a rule in cases not excepted
from."
