Schemata rather than schemas

I know it's late and this is about as minor an issue as there is, but also
trivial to fix: why not use the proper plural form of "schema", which is
"schemata", since it's (originally) a Greek word?

Yes, the more forgiving dictionaries will list "schemas" as an alternative
plural, but shouldn't a standards organization use the more correct one?

PS: I searched through the subject lines of the archived msgs, didn't find a
match for this.
