I think the lesson learned is that you always have to think big and then realise it's all uphill from there. I belive that history has proven that *many* standards (propriarity or not) that rely on marketing and hype for fule doesn't make it in the long run. Even though some architechts from the construction business has proven otherwise, I really think that excellent, unselfish engeneering is a major key behind a successful, long living standard. A standard must dominate by excellence and not manage by fear. So far nothing new. The new is that I'm thinking about a new theory around Babel. It's based on the suspicion that maybe it was people themselves that got tired of it all and agreed on babbling... /Niclas PS! Another news of the week is that I read in the XSL FAQ (about variables) that XSL is a functional based language. Major break-through when I realized I got the chanse to use my first 4p from university :) The difference between imperative and functional aproach towards XSLT is around 2 pages. It should be emphasized when someone asks. *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
