Also -- more to the point -- note that RELAX NG does not define a type system. It defers to XML Schema for the type system. Unfortunately, we really can't escape XML Schema.
Sun, Microsoft, and everyone else has standardized in XML Schema because it's the only type system for XML.

Awesome. I was aware of TREX, but not of RELAX or RELAX NG. I'd honestly forgotten there were alternatives to W3C XML Schema, which is most likely an unfortunate side effect of having my head down in the SOAP bubbles for too long.
So the question really, as you pointed out, is toolkit support. Anybody know for certain if JAXP allows for pluggable schema languages, or are did Sun standardize on W3C?
