Certainly that may be true. I wasn't there.

But lets look at what has happened in the mean time.

 1) Yes, databinding patterns identified
 2) No profile schema made
 3) No recommendation, just some Notes
 4) No links from XSD 1.1 to that information
 5) No impact on XSD 1.1
 6) Yes, XSD 1.1 gets bigger and even more monolithic, even for features 
where it was
easier to be modular.

So what are the results in XSD 1.1 of all those comments on 
size/complexity/etc and
the interop problems reported as caused by them from that workshop?

I submit, basically  *nothing* on a macro-level, just some tweaking of a 
couple of definitions.
I wonder whether too much focus on the difficulty of the XSD 1.0 text 
has fooled WG members
that this was basicly an editorial problem, rather than being caused by 
the technology itself?

Ignoring something by delegating it to a different group then ignoring 
their report is still ignoring.
