I have noticed that the .NET development platform with it's around_xml_nature, strucks information architects/developers (with 100 my experience in the IT field) with merciless cruelty. Microsoft (and most proprietary) developers expect that the platform will utilize XML recs in a transparent/visual way (and it does in some points) but they just freeze hopelessly when their IDE does not recognize the http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema namespace URI... IMHO the main reason for this is that M$ does not underline the need of some XML background, something that just ends up in semi-standards-compliant work in the end (both from M$ and the developers that work with it). The irony of course is that every proprietary developer knows how to handle custom extensions that work for his/her platform, but not the actual standard. Manos
