Not helpful to whom?

I'm very happy that the RELAX NG community proceeded with their work 
despite the publication of a 'Recommended' specification.  DSDL's 
continuing work strikes me as the most likely area for technical progress 
in the whole of XML.

Their example seems worthy of emulation - perhaps effort should be directed 
toward alternatives rather than to comments on specifications which appear 
unlikely to change their fields for the better.
