I'm quite they would not wish to be tarnished by the argument presented here :-) I'm not defending MS, I'm latching onto their pragmatic accomodation to some real problems in XML interop to illustrate points that I've been trying to make on this list for years. I find it very very interesting that people tend to gravitate to the same subset of XML1.x when they have to simultaneously optimize interoperability, footprint/reliability, and performance -- and that's basically the subset used by SOAP (all versions, AFAIK), and is awfully close to http://www.simonstl.com/articles/cxmlspec.txt. MS, of course, supports the whole spec, but from what people were saying earlier in this thread it looks like they make it more convenient for their customers to use the "Common XML Core" than the whole thing. I find that a very sensible thing to do. You apparently don't. C'est la vie.
