Tim, I am disappointed that you chose to follow this line of thinking. I happened to like the XML spec and found the Namespaces spec confusing. Is this because I am substantially full of [expletive deleted]? Maybe so. Even ignoring your seemingly habitual verbal abuse, I find it disconcerning that you seem to treat genuine feedback from the readers of your specs as some sort of legal arguments or logic problems which you are obligated to punch holes in. Please listen to what we are trying to say rather than how we say it. If some of us seems to criticize your works harshly, it is because we would like to believe that we are not entirely stupid. If we do not understand you fully, should we think that we are too stupid to understand or that your are speaking too high above our heads? Most of the people who took part in this thread of discussion took the middle view: we took as much as blame as possible until we were full of it and then shovel to you the rest. Are we full of it? You are damn right we are. I am [expletive deleted] because I am full of it. If you are having trouble holding your share, that is too bad.
