We've just ben talking about this on XML-SIG.

The main problem seems to be that it's pretty hard to find someone who
likes XML Schemas enough to begin implementing it.  I personally dislike
the spec.  I prefer Schematron, TREX, RELAX, HOOK, etc.

However, given the number of other specs beginning to depend on XSchema,
I don't suppose we'll have much choice.  Probably post 4Suite 1.0.

For now Henry Thomson's XSV package is the only option for Pythoneers
looking for XSchemas.  (No wonder he's an XSchema fan: he's on the
working group).

Thanks for the kind words about 4Suite, though.  Don't miss the 0.10.2
release we just put out.  *Many* bug-fixes.
