I think XML Schema fits nowhere into GNUe. It is not the right thing for 
describing databases, because we rely on relational ones (currently, and I 
don't think that will change till way past 1.0).
Of course, DTDs for GNUe XML Formats can be converted to XML Schema if 
someone does the job.

BTW, XML Schema's complexity seems to me like the typical Brooksian "second 
system effect". A pity they messed it up.

Greets,
