rick jelliffe vision is - as far as i got it - "vision of a plurality of schema languages, a schema language without any elements." he wrote schematon. another example of this vision is named examplotron from eric van der vlist. "The purpose of examplotron is to use instance documents as a lightweight schema language-- eventually adding the information needed to guide a validator in the sample documents."
