In my corner of the world, it's gaining mindshare. What I see are people 
using rng as the canonical schema format and exporting it to xsd for 
tool usage. In other words xsd is an implementation detail; people are 
thinking in rng.

In terms of optics, rng seems to be a victim of its own success. It 
doesn't conserve complexity and doesn't require much by the way of 
tools. Vendors are not motivated to build tools for rng. End users and 
developers who have come to expect to do integration work through tools 
don't use rng as a result of there not being tools.
