Re: [xml-dev] Why is the file suffix of XML Schemas .xsd and not.xsd.xml or even better .xsd.xml.txt?

May be, but it's legacy. Many older operating systems supported only 3
characters as a filename extension. Although this limitation is no
longer true I personally don't see any advantage in using 3 extensions
at the same time. I know that .xsl is a text file in XML format
containing XSLT transformation. There are not that many file types in use.
