James' has reiterated a suggestion that has been put forward by others in the past -- notably Dan Connolly and Tim Berners-Lee. Sadly, professional writers are not always easy to come by, and when they are they usually expect compensation -- gotta make a living, dontcha know. A professional technical writer was hired by W3C for the HTML 4.0 specification. The XML WG did have at least one professional writer and one professional editor on board, and many of those who were not professional writers/editors could not fairly be categorized as amateurs given their academic and professional histories. In my experience as a technical writer, I have discovered that the act of explaining the application of a technical design can, in many cases, lay bare its flaws. Cooperation between writers and designers often results in designs that take the end-user into account. Regards, Murray xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
