Note here that requirements 400 [1] and 401 [2] currently says that no
one should be forced to use XML Schema in a message (data representation
and envelope are orthogonal) but if a "schema" language is going to be
used it must be XML Schema (data representation must support using XML
Schema simple and complex types).

This is also the model described by SOAP in section 5 of the SOAP/1.1 spec.

I don't think the discussion of whether XML schema currently has a lot of
support or not belongs on this list.
