NISO MIX 2.0 coming
A draft schema is being circulated for NISO MIX 2.0 XML metadata for still images. It looks like a vast improvement over the buggy 1.0 schema. There are enough changes that it's incompatible with MIX 1.0 metadata, but changing the implementation shouldn't be too much work. The jump from 0.2 to 1.0 was an order of magnitude bigger in amount of changes.
Version 2.0 already looks more stable than 1.0. The only problems which I've found so far (and have reported back to the MIX mailing list) are some inconsistencies in naming conventions and a mandatory element that shouldn't be. If you haven't adopted MIX 1.0 and are thinking about it, I'd strongly suggest waiting for 2.0 to be finalized.
