 As Clark's message is being passed along working groups like a grassfire, the assertions that XML Schema is hard, incomplete, inadequate, somehow not right, are being accepted uncritically in many venues based on the source. That is not a good thing. The letter will be used by any group with an alternative to beat on what they perceive as their strongest competitor regardless of the relative strengths of their own offerings. If all one has is perceived signal strength to choose a station, the media becomes the message and that is superstition. Schema debates are becoming rococo symphonies where we are presented with so many subtle variations that the themes are being lost in the cluttered orchestration. The result is predictable: audiences with dull sleepy eyes looking at their watches. Hoping sincerely that your book is one that enables right choice based on well-understood requirements. Best of luck. len From: Eric van der Vlist [mailto:vdv@d...] This book is not, surprise, surprise, the kind of book you will want to read to be comforted in the idea that W3C XML Schema is the nicest invention since sliced bread. I insist on this point since that's not that common: most of the people buy computer books when they start working with a new technique and expect that the book will comfort them in the idea that they've made "the right choice". Note that it's not either the kind of book you need to buy to get all the arguments against W3C XML Schema.
