Title: Message

Tell me about it, I'm already experiencing this first hand (XQuery depends on W3C XML Schema). What I find interesting is that Henry T is equating "new work" with the kind of work a *standards* body is supposed to be tackling. This seems to be the opposite of what a body that should be setting "standards" should be doing and it shows in the current family of technologies coming out of the W3C.

Henry,

New "science" is arguably a potentially dangerous approach for a standards-setting body/group to take. Not least when it is paralleled by associated embedding of requirements for use of the result (XSD Schema) in other W3C technologies.
