In the practical sense, it is quite unlikely. It is a published schema, so
technically it is possible for a non .Net program to receive the xml data and
the schema, and to create its own version of a dataset.

If you are developing both the web service and the client in .Net, however, and
that it is its principle purpose, it works out fine.
