Well, those debugging their web service code to make .NET and J2EE interoperate, to name a few thousand :~) Anyway, James Clark addresses this argument: 'I often hear people say: "It doesn't really matter that the spec W3C XML Schema Rec is so hard to understand; only W3C XML Schema implementors need to do this". I think this is misguided. People who want to be sure they have understood exactly what a particular W3C XML schema means also have to understand the W3C XML Schema Rec.' and 'There seems to be a tendency for people to suspend their technical judgment when it comes to W3C XML Schema. The attitude seems to be "It's a W3C Recommendation; everybody is using it, so we should too, regardless of its technical merits." I don't think this attitude serves the best long-term interests of the Internet. I and others have sacrificed a huge amount of time and effort to try and provide the community with a solid, technically credible alternative and I think it deserves to be considered seriously on its technical merits and not dismissed on the basis of its current level of market acceptance.'
