Since RDF was developed before XML Schema we cannot say that
this is the case - in fact - we should _now_ be starting new
effort on _truely_ building RDF on top of XML Schema (ie RDF 2.0)
RDF 2.0 should be completely expressable with XML Schema.
(The web can only handle one schema language)
Until this happens, RDF will always be the "poorer cousin" to XML
Schema.
