Compact syntax for XML Schema

Erik Wilde and Kilian Stillhard have developed a compact syntax for W3C XML
Schema, analogous to the compact syntax for RELAX NG.  It's very attractive
IMHO, and comes with Java code to translate back and forth to the XML-based
standard syntax.  Unfortunately, it was announced during the August doldrums,
and doesn't seem to have made it to the list.  While I have a few trivial
complaints about the syntax (meaning: it didn't *quite* match the sketch I
worked out last year :-) ), it looks like an excellent method of making WXS
more readable, writable, and accessible.
