I am sure that most of you know that the W3C announced today that XML 1.0 was a Recommendation. The details are at: http://www.w3.org/XML This is a milestone in a very exciting quest, and there are many people and organisations who deserve credit. In my experience it is one of the best decision-making processes I have been acquainted with. Note that there are many issues still actively under consideration. It is important that XML-DEV members are aware that there are active working groups on these issues - these are listed on the W3 site. They include further developments in XML itself, XLL, XSL, namespaces, RDF, etc. I know it is frustrating for those 'not in the club', but much of the current formal discussion is confidential. The various WGs release information here as soon as it is reasonable. We have to accept, therefore, that it is not useful to discuss possible revisions of the drafts in this forum. The members of the SIG and the WGs have agreed to tight communal procedures, which at times require saying nothing :-) and it will help if we do the same. Please, therefore, accept the Recommendations and drafts as they are published and try to work with them. By all means report *implementation* problems and concerns here, but be assured that all 'vibes' will get back to the various groups. The biggest contributions will come from showing how the spec can be used to solve problems in practice. P.
