Last mail for the day -- I think Michael Champion is more correct than Eric -- we *trust* the WGs to come up with correct technology, as a not very experienced person, I also tend to trust big corporations like IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, but i think the experience with XML schema is making me doubt the big corporations to some extent. I have the highest regard for tim berners lee, who had made the web possible. I am glad with the merger of RELAX and TREX, it makes the solution adopted by RELAX/TREX stronger, it also focusses development on one specification, also personally it gives me hope of correct research -- I am sure RELAX/TREX will survive the marketing strategies from XML Schema, whatever be their individial market shares. cheers - murali.
