I agree that in the first year or two of XML-DEV I would actively steer the
discussion towards the implementation issues, but for some time it has been
clear that wider issues have a role on the list. This has been particularly
true of the "semantic Web" where we are trying to work out how we want tor
transmit our human culture via machines. We still have some way to go, but
I think the postings have clarified people's thoughts and informed the
deliberations of those who create the technical specs.

The discussion under this subject line is towards the fringes of XML-DEV
subjects, but we have a tradition of promoting meritocracy and plurality -
"XML" is the better for it. Normally these discussions have a way of
self-limitation.
