Just going on the evidence of what I see. -Tim Maybe we live in different worlds. Based on experience, companies starting to adopt XML typically hire XML consultants to design their systems. Most of them are not confident that they know all the details of XML and thus are compelled to use outside help. The problem is that once the consultant is done, the companies do not have the expertise to maintain and extend the design. This is quite different from the way HTML has been adopted and used. People started using HTML immediately. Also, there is a definite problem with the way XML is being extended. Because of the 'sacred main document structure' constraint, extensions are being forced rely on awkward features. XML stylesheet standard used PI, DT4DTD uses notations, XML namespace standard uses special attributes. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised to see people start using comments for some new standard. Removing the comment feature will force the people to treat comment as first-class information. Best, Don Park - mailto:donpark@d...
