Re: RelaxNG examples

[Yoshifumi Atarashi <atarashi@alaxala.net>]

I think there are a few style decision points.

1) expression ability
2) easy to understanding
3) programming language/tool/library support
4) capability

In my understanding,
RelaxNG
1) good
2) good
3) not good
4) not good, because RelaxNG is not mainstream in XML tool developer.
   (Our XML expert told us.)

xsd
1) good (a little limited)
2) good (a little limited)
3) very good
4) good

So I think we choice "xsd", for operator who can make netconf tools and
NMS programmers.
