What Clean Specs Achieve, WAS: Colonialism, SAX, Java, and Namespaces

One of the big advantages of Java is that a small shop can
tackle significant projects. With clean specs, the same will
be true for XML.

It is worth the extra effort to keep the specs as clean as possible.
It goes beyond wide-acceptance. It means smaller project teams
and shorter delivery times. And that makes XML a competative 
advantage.
