For what it's worth I don't think you were wrong. I personally find 
the RELAX NG XML syntax *much* easier to read, understand, and write 
than the compact syntax. Perhaps that's a function of my relative 
unfamiliarity with RELAX NG compared to you, but that's the point of 
XML's verboseness, isn't it? It's easier for a non-expert to 
understand any given format.
