I am not sure this is the case with the current discussion.  Could you provide more details please?

While I appreciate your position, I harken back to the discussion the NDR group has had on design rules.  We chose XSD as the cannonical form for UBL.  That decision was based on a number of factors.  We also said that although we were mindful of, and fully support the desires of, others to express UBL in other schema syntax - such as Relax NG and AS1 we would not suboptimize our XSD based approaches.
