If you cite an application, it is given a decent spec for that application.

If you spec, XML, you are quite right.  

 

That is exactly the point. 

 

Now, for those in the XML system tools business, a different problem

is occurring.  The specs from the W3C are insufficiently modular to

enable you to spec tools according to finely granular requirements.

That makes it a hard business for anyone without deep pockets.

That is Simon's point and he is right.
