I am happy to let you know that the schema was just approved as a draft international standard and a project team was formed to respond to a few comments at the next ISO meeting in June. This is a great step forward as it means that there will not be significant technical changes to the schema. It is typical for nations to start implementing once a standard reaches this stage.

That group has not been active for several years so hopefully we can now move towards making ISO XML resources easier to access and use.
