I am also wondering if Relax NG couldn't be improved in its fallback (or
lack of fallback) mechanisms.
The first area where this would be needed is for datatype libraries: it
would be helpfull IMO to be able to define alternative types and
libraries (somewhat like you define alternative fonts in a CSS stylesheet).
If you have for instance a nice customed library for a datatype which is
supported by a very limited number of Relax NG processors, you might
want to use it when possible and to use the closest W3C XML Schema type
when the datatype is not supported by the validator.
