Hi Joe, Joe said: Instead, what I'd like to see is the codification of subsets and recommendations for domains of use of these subsets. For example, in the domain of XML for business messaging, if not for all of XML-for-data, I'd like to see a formal recommendation to avoid both entity declarations and mixed content. I'd like to make it easy for someone who knows their domain of use to identify exactly what they need to learn about XML and to learn just those pieces. Applications could advertise conformance with various recommendations to ease both learning to use the application and integrating with the application. Didier reply: Independently of SML there is a need for messaging convention otherwise this convention is defined by a manufacturer as Microsoft is trying with Biztalk. The whole thread I tried to bring out about meta data and message is about this. Biztalk after all only add some meta data to an XML document like for instance, for what/whom is this message, from what/whom is this message, to which process this message is part of, etc... All these things are in fact meta information about the document transported from A to B. However, to realize this, what is missing now in the XML framework is: a) the ability to validate a document fragment or the whole document as an aggregation of fragments. If we get that, then it will be possible to build a message that would include the meta data about a document and the document itself in the same text "package". Off course this is a need for e-commerce transaction and probably not something that could be applied to other kind of documents.
