My two cents here: I think we can all agree that, for people familiar with RELAX NG, RNC is easier to use. When I can see 18 declarations on one screen, I can understand a document type's structure more quickly than when I can only see two declarations per screen. However, if I had to teach a class in RELAX NG to people who already knew XML and DTDs, I would use RNG, because I wouldn't have the double problem have teaching them concepts and syntax. Once I introduced them to RNC, there'd be a lot of tranging back and forth between the two as they learned RNC. The most important point is that we shouldn't generalize that XML compact syntaxes are good because RNC is good. No one should use RNC to justify their own compact syntax; they must justify their compact syntax on its own terms. Bob
