What Tantek is saying is that XML Schema, RelaxNG, etc. are good at  
expressing the structure in very constraining ways and sometimes too  
constraining removing then the evolutivity of your language.

Yes. Quite of. And XML-type Schemas are only able to express a very  
minimal semantic.

What XMDP provides is the semantic of the link which associates the  
property with values.
