This is very similar to a number of other articles I've seen over the past year from ZDNet and other publications that are critical of and predicting the demise of XML because there are too many versions of it. The author(s) of these articles (I haven't noticed if these have all been written by the same guy) has not yet learned the distinction between a language and a metalanguage, and assumes that since there are multiple "versions" of XML (actually different applications) that there's something wrong there. As far as the auto industry example, Taschek sees the manufacturers setting up a B2B exchange not under the auspices of OASIS and thinks that's a bad thing. It would be a bad thing if it *were* under the auspices of the consortium. They are doing what they're supposed to: building an e-commerce infrastructure based on XML standards. GM, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler built a shopping mall using standard architectural specifications. Volkswagon built another shopping mall down the street. Fine. OASIS didn't build the shopping mall, but that's not OASIS' business. He just doesn't get it. </karl> ====================================================================== Karl F.
