My own experience with schema language selection is pull-based --
whatever sort of schema another language or tool is expecting is the
type that I work with. So, I started working with RELAX NG because
nxml-mode uses RNC. Otherwise, most of the things I touch require XSD.
(Also, the only tooling that I have to work with RELAX NG is
nxml-mode... DTD and XSD are much better supported by generally
available tooling.)
Thus, my impression is that XSD has essentially squeezed-out RNG by
being the default choice for the default schema language and the
default implementations (e.g., Apache Xerces) for various tools and XML
dialects.
