Your account is biased towards XSD:
1. Support for RELAX NG in .NET does exist, it is included in the Mono
implementation.
2. Python has very good support for RELAX NG (as well as for XSD) via
libxml2.
3. For me the best schema editor is Emacs with nxml-mode.
4. RELAX NG has the compact syntax.

I think we have so far too little real-life experience and so this
discussion is rather moot. Let's go ahead and implement some data models
in our devices (we are working on one) using whatever formalism and then
compare the results to see the relative benefits and drawbacks.
