This only means that the author's of xhtml2 like rng more than xsd
(and dtd).  I surely don't blame them, but the fact that there's a
section for xsd conflicts your statement that "W3C no longer uses XSD".

In my world, we've seen no requests for rng.  No idea why.  I know
the WSDL world drinks XSD for breakfast, and are probably the heavy
users.  Me, I still think XSD is a "write-only" language.

Anyway, this is way off topic.....
