Quite Standards Questions

I said as much in my comparison of the various XML schema languages (see 
http://www.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/DVS1/staff/bourret/bourret.htm). 
 This was based on the statement in the DCD abstract that "The DCD proposal 
incorporates a subset of the XML-Data Submission...", the fact that DCD and 
XML-Data are both from Microsoft (as well as others), and David Megginson's 
statement to that effect 
(http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/9809/0183.html).

Eventually, all of the XML schema languages will (hopefully) be replaced by 
the schema language currently being developed by the W3C.
