If I get a document with a schema in some language, I just use the document. If someone hands me a schema, I tend to use it in whatever language it was written in. If I write a schema, I think about what tools I will be using, and use a schema language that is supported by those tools. I tend to use XML without any schema, with DTDs, or with W3C XML Schema, mainly because that's what many of the tools I use support. Recently, I started using nXML, which requires RELAX-NG, so I have started converting the schemas I use to RELAX-NG. The reasons I have for choosing a given schema language rarely have to do with the technical advantages and disadvantages of the schema languages. Except for one thing: when I write examples, I prefer not to use W3C XML Schema because I find it difficult to read. Jonathan
