The problem in XML is that XML Schema was botched and in particular
namespaces and composition are botched. I think this could be fixed,
perhaps.

There are other schema languages than the bloated W3C Schema. The most
common is RelaxNG (http://www.relaxng.org/).

In the IETF land, while RFC 3730 and 3981 unfortunately use W3C
Schema, RFC 4287 uses RelaxNG.
