[ rx:...

Compact syntax allows foreign element and attribute escapes.

Down the road, the rx: extension or something like it might be 
incorporated into a future version of RELAX NG. Proposing it as a 
compatible extension of the current RELAX NG is, I believe, the 
recommended path for making it so.

But let's assume you know all that and are really asking whether this 
will be impossibly clumsy to use with the compact syntax? I don't know, 
and it's a good question (though perhaps if it were clumsy, that would 
be more a criticism of compact syntax than rx:). Could John or someone 
cook an example in both XML and compact syntax so people can get the 
flavor of it? I'd do it myself but my brain is on haitus.
