This sounds great.

While we're on the topic, my vote would be to encourage development on the 
RelaxNG side as well as on the W3C Schema side. RelaxNG is perfect for a 
wide range of lighter-weight XML applications for which the full weight of 
W3C Schema is overkill, and oXygen is an excellent tool for the same kind 
of work. A major reason oXygen has made such incursions into my daily 
XMLing is its support for RNG.

Of course, RNG doesn't need so much help from an IDE. :-> And I suppose 
it's thinkable to have the same visual editor for either schema language, 
though (knowing how tricky these things can be around the edges) I hesitate 
to argue that's how it should be done.

Cheers,
Wendell
