Relax NG seems to be an OASIS standard: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=relax-ng and an ISO draft standard http://www.xmlhack.com/read.php?item=1667 "RELAX NG becomes ISO draft standard [...] At a recent meeting in Barcelona, the RELAX NG XML validation language was unanimously accepted as Draft International Standard 19757-2 by the Document Description and Processing Languages subcommittee of the ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 (ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34)." http://www.y12.doe.gov/sgml/sc34/document/0320.htm The XHTML people say: http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-xhtml2-20030506/ "This version includes an early implementation of XHTML 2.0 in RELAX NG [RELAXNG], but does not include the implementations in DTD or XML Schema form. Those will be included in subsequent versions, once the content of this language stabilizes." It seems they chose RNG as the format for the master schema. Why? Because RNG meets their requirements best, I would think. (Also see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2003May/0048.html) But they will provide RNG, WXS (.xsd), and DTD versions of the XHTML schema, probaby all normative (they don't "abandon" WXS). So if you your tools are DTD based, or WXS based, you will be able to feed them what they like. This is the route the SVG WG could consider. > Otherwise the XSD is already widely supported by SVG utilities, which ones? Tobi -- http://www.pinkjuice.com/
