I really don't understand this. Virtually everyone is complaining about
XSD being broken and I've never heard similar objections being raised
against RELAX NG, but apparently nobody seems to give it a slightest
consideration(?). As a data model specification language, RELAX NG is
IMO much more readable than XSD and I wrote a XSLT stylesheet allowing
annotated RELAX NG schemas to be incorporated in xml2rfc sources in a
way that resembles Knuth's literate programming. So what's wrong with
it?

Of course, specific NETCONF software could use XSD or whatever schemas
automatically translated from RELAX NG, if necessary, so this discussion
is really about data model specifications intended to be read by humans.
