It is some time since the list discussed the value of product announcements
on XML-DEV (and in fact such announcements are now very infrequent). On the
one hand XML is clearly linked to commerce and is significantly fueled by
it; on the other, most XML-DEVers would not wish the list flooded with
commercial offerings.

My view - which I think encompasses earlier discussion - is that product
announcements and details are of value on XML-DEV only if:
	- they contribute significantly to the development of XML tools or practice.
	- it is easy to download them without payment and use them for this purpose
	- they have a significant lifetime for this purpose
	- the developers are committed to interoperability
	- enough guidance is given in the initial posting about platform,
language, other requirements, etc.

My feeling is that this announcement did not fill all these criteria - I
went to the WWW site but didn't get useful information about how XLink was
involved. The posting on XML-DEV was to inform the market rather than those
interested in the development of XLINK technology. 

Of course I make it clear that I have no comment on the product or company
in any other matter than the posting on XML-DEV.

	Your comments are welcome.
