How big is ABIS? How many existing applications? Which organizations require it in contract negotiations (RFP to SOW)? What is the dollar value of those contracts? What is the market size and what is the market cycle time?
XHTML? Non-starter. Good spec.
DOCBOOK. Good spec. Occasionally useful. Not seen in major defense procurements.
ATOM. Good spec. No profit. Needs to be free to stay alive.
And XSD could be used for those even if not. I'd hesitate to guess XSD is more important in messages on the wire.
I'm just guessing and have no dog in this race. But if you really want to convince the pointy-haired guy here, there and everywhere to buck the trends (if the wisdom of crowds is how the web chooses, XSD wins.), have the numbers particularly the lifecycle costs. Also pay attention to the fact that in real time networks, the biggest cost is the cost of acquisition of infrastructure, not the number of users as long as they stay below the peak. Once the infrastructure is in place, new starts aren't likely. This is true of hardware networks, social networks, and networks of interlocking specifications.

What about Abis) where RELAX NG is required?
This is the case if you want to validate DocBook 5, XHTML 2, Atom feeds, XSPF playlists, ...
In these cases RELAX NG is required because the content models cannot be correctly validated with W3C XML Schema meaning that if you rely on alternative W3C XML Schema schemas you will either get false positives or false negatives.
