Amen to that.  The value of tools that grok XSD is eclipsed by the
hardship humans have grokking it.  And the availability of tools
doesn't guarantee to their use.  I know Rob pulled out the XSD
snippets from the spec and validated them, but the presence of bugs
shows this wasn't enough to guarantee correctness.

Thanks,
