XSD and RNG are to a large degree orthogonal - XSD is a type system, RNG is an a schema language for XML. Perhaps XSD is being conflated with WXS? > While there are possible workarounds, I don't believe the current > web-service tools or > specs support using Relax NG.

Now it's on the rise - I'm confident over the next two years RNG + son of XSD will be the way we describe content models for web services. So I suspect you'll see support for RNG in these tools. Although, if policy makers are being diven by tools instead of technologies, arguably they're putting the cart before the horse - but that's a different discussion.
