New "science" is arguably a potentially dangerous approach for a standards-setting body/group to take. Not least when it is paralleled by associated embedding of requirements for use of the result (XSD Schema) in other W3C technologies.

Um, as regards XML, you're joking, right? Look at the history. It's
_completely_ unlike HTML, it was way out ahead of what any vendors
were thinking about, much less trying-and-failing to interoperate. It
was in fact a lot like XSLT and XML Schema: real new science was done
in the WGs.
