Andy Wardley has been rumoured to be about to release XML::Schema for 
about 18 months. Last time I heard of him on that topic was in august, 
but there has been no release since.

I certainly do not at all intend to blame Andy -- this being open 
source, someone not having time to finish something is definitely not to 
blame -- but XML Schema is leaking into pretty much everything and if we 
don't have an implementation (that can do more than just validation) 
we're in trouble.

I don't have much time to code, but I do have the source to two XML 
Schema implementations (in Java), both of which I understand (even 
though neither are validators).

But of course I'd very much prefer to have Andy's version, especially as 
an old version that had escaped a year ago had very interesting 
approaches IIRC. If someone here sees him, could we arrange something 
involving lots of alcohol and a floppy?
