I agree: the current implementations are nowhere near compatible enough. If you use XML Schema, and you need it to work compatibly across implementations, be loud - and speak directly to the people who are responsible for solving the problem. Submit concrete examples of incompatibility. Call to Arms: When you encounter an instance that illustrates compatibility problems, don't let it drop! Instead, do the following: 1. Let's figure out which implementations do a particularly good job of implementing XML Schema. If there are one or two that are really good, that would be very useful information, even if there are a bunch that are not good. Let's make compatibility a marketable commodity. 2. If the spec is clear and the implementation simply does not implement the spec, let the vendor know the problem, and that compatibility really matters to you. Let's put pressure on the vendors. 3. In places where the spec is not clear, or where you as an implementor of XML Schema find it difficult to implement, let's see some email traffic sent to XML Schema. Send your feedback to: www-xml-schema-comments@w... I note that there is a spam problem on this comments list. Sigh. XSL and XQuery have fixed their spam problems, I'll send email to the Schema IG suggesting that this is a problem. Jonathan
