Writing is not the main activity.  Reading is.  That is nearly unbearable without tools.

If I have to work on a W3C Schema(*), I convert it to Relax-NG compact first.  True, I’ll lose some information, but as a net result I'll digest much more information out of the W3C Schema document than if I had directly looked at that.

At the time when I was closer to the XML community, the hallway consensus was that W3C Schema was *designed* to sell more tools.

(Hence my short note yesterday giving the CDDL translations for JSL; that would probably be the way I would be reading — or writing — JSL.)
