Tying Knots In Your Underwear

Using W3C XML Schema is like tying your underwear in knots. It's totally unnecessary, and it's darned uncomfortable!

It appears there are forces at work in the world that are working very diligently to make XML much more complex than it needs to be.

Simple Systems always win out over Complex Systems. BUT...like the 80 year battle between Capitalism and Communism, there can be very long dark periods where it appears that Complex Systems are winning. (Or, like the Dark Ages, there can be periods of 500 years or more where it appears that the dark, murky world of superstition has won out over the world of reason.)

I wonder how long it will take to get the XML schema problem resolved.

RelaxNG anyone?
