And what are the odds of getting any real compliance and interoperability with so many specs moving in so many directions so quickly? The odds of two tools being at the same 'XML Place' at the same 'XML Time' is probably pretty low if they weren't written by the same person. But isn't this the way it always works? Non-programmers get frustrated and decide to create something of their own. Then, if it catches on, it has to be expanded to be able to do everything the old system could do, by which time it is too complex and then non-programmers get frustrated and decide to create something of their own? At some point you have a programming language and could have just used one to begin with, and left the other tool alone to stake out the low ground. I'm reading a couple hours a day and I still feel like I only barely understand the most basic issues, and I'm a hard core *C++* programmer. I think that the inability of a hard core C++ programmer to understand some other language could be a legal definition of 'too dang complicated' :-) Just my opinion of course... ---------------------------------------- Dean Roddey Software Weenie IBM Center for Java Technology - Silicon Valley roddey@u... xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
