The hideous shock for much of the relational development 
industry if not the standards wonks will be to try to 
convert table schema to XML Schema and discover just 
how sloppy the naming practices of the developers 
really are.  People with large investments and many 
fielded products who think by dint of their market 
penetration that their schemas should be standard 
encounter for possibly the first time the costs of 
sharing and convergence of legacy.

And they can't even blame SGML. :-)
