I don't think anyone was suggesting abandoning W3C XML Schema.
You have a strong point in implying that a W3C specification
should normatively use another W3C specification if possible.
So don't worry yet - I'm pretty confident there will be a 
normative XSD of some form in SVG 1.2.

Masayasu-san suggests providing multiple normative schemas.
This seems like a really good idea to me.

The way we go about producing schemas (e.g. RNG converted to
XSD) isn't as important. Personally I find RNG 
easier than XSD, but that's just me.
