Depends on what is meant by "standard"

While the W3C seems committed to their XML Schema spec, they technically
don't make set standards, just recommendations.  of source, many act as if
they were a standards body, so perhaps the effective result is the same.

Still, their are those who don't see the W3C as the One True Source, and
recent debates on xml-dev suggest a good chunk of developers will move
towards RELAX-NG (for at least some portion of their work), which is
currently an ISO draft standard.

Unlike the W3C, ISO *is* an actual standards organization.

James Clark made some interesting comments about the W3C XML Schema and
RELAX-NG here:
