> The only thing xsd is good for is showing how not to do it.

In the Web Services (and database?) world, the XSD type system is used for 
databinding and therefore is hidden in the tooling, as Mike said. 
Databinding is used as a 'fast onramp' for code generators or other 
wizards to churn out new applications, gateway to legacy, etc. This is 
being done at various enterprises (from the very large to the SME), and 
it's not surprising to me that the vendors see those markets as more 
important than the 'xml programming model' market, if such a thing can 
even be cleanly defined and estimated.

RelaxNG can't address this since it has no native type system, but imports 
XSD's.

But perhaps XLinq adoption, and its (inevitable?) OSS work-alikes while 
tip the scales.
