Hmmh. Interesting. I hadn't thought that through then.
I stand corrected (plus I learnt something new today,
which is great).

So whereas DTD and W3C Schema can inject more info in
Infoset, RNG is only focused on validation aspects?
That does separate concerns, although leaves bit of a
hole, in the sense that one then still needs to use
DTD/Schema for typing attributes.
But then again, one can use Xml:id to solve this
particular problem, and other xml specifications for
other respective problems (XLink, XPointer and so on).
Maybe it all makes sense, in the end. ;-)
