Although now IBM, MS, and Tim B. have submitted the DCD proposal, which I
believe
supersedes MS' proposed XML-Data spec. DCD is kind of a mixture of XML-Data and
RDF schemes. Since IBM, MS, and Tim are behind it, it probably stands a good
chance
of making it I would think.

The proposed schema has been accepted and posted on the W3C site today I think.
Everyone
should check it out and comment.
