;-)

That is probably a reasonable summary.

If only it was possibly to consider w3c schema more as
a binding artifact (machine producible and readable)
than anything a human being can and needs to read, or
especially, write. But for that it may still bit too
complicated... It seems like it is mostly (and most
succesfully?) used as an interface definition and data
binding description language.

Instead of popularity, I probably should re-phrase the
question as to which one is more/most necessary.

Also... I think that the third popular candidate
(Schematron) is probably something that can not be
easily implemented in a streaming manner; so while it
has its strenghts, it probably needs to be handled at
an object model level?
