It is human-readable and in my experience, developers who know a bit of Turtle (without being experts) and a bit of other Schema languages (without being experts), easily understand the syntax. As I said in another thread, I have employed ShEx in the development of 2 linked data portals to communicate to the team the shapes of the RDF graph that we wanted both to produce and consume, and they could handle them easily. However, ShEx is not oriented nor tied to RDF/XML. ShEx is oriented to the RDF graph model and it can be seen as a domain specific language to describe and define RDF graphs. -- Saludos, Labra
