XPath and XSLT 2.0 are pretty tightly tied to XML Schema,

largely non-technical: the XSL and XQuery WGs felt (wrongly, in my
opinion) that W3C technologies should use other W3C technologies
rather than technologies originated from elsewhere.

So, just as a splinter group created RELAX NG when the W3C Schema
group went astray, we now need another (or with luck the same) splinter
group to create an alternative to XPath and XSLT 2.0 that will meet the 
needs of the same users who prefer the power of RELAX NG to the verbosity 
of XSD. 

Any chance someone is working on it?  Any rumors?
