So what? The Web doesn't belong to the W3C.

Sure. My point was that a much more larger group do not use any schema

Anyway, I am completely lost in this discussion. I fail to see the
relation between 80% of your previous mail and the mail to which it was

arbitrary assertions...
I propose to stop the thread at this point!
