  No, it's finished when it's done. Since there is no resource allocated
it all depends on the various people interested on getting it finished
to actually provide the code, the test cases, etc...

  Hum, Charles Bozeman helped on them.
My take is that I currently have no use of XML Schemas. I implemented most
of the framework, and said "I welcome help, patches and bug reports".
When I get precise bug report or missing functionalities which are needed,
then I try to implement them. But it's not my #1 priority, and I appreciate
getting patches... or complete reports. And the Schemas TODO is not maintained
i.e. I did not look at it or modify it in a long time.
