Right on, Rick. XML was created by the SGML community at large and directed and made concrete by a self-selected group of individuals, really. No one should be too concerned because this is all documented stuff they can look up. What one should and some have noted is that there are now as there have always been, different factions with technical points of view. That is normal, healthy, and completely unavoidable. We sit here daily debating the various technologies we are presented with not to establish polities, name names, bronze shoes, or create new cults of personality. We are comparing our experiences and various backgrounds to come to understandings of the application boundaries of these technologies so we may present to our customers and the net community at large, coherent explanations of how to choose among these. Entities such as XML.COM attempt to make sense of this, and others such as ZDNET proseletyze. It does become confusing and when it does, we come back to XML-Dev and discuss what we know, what we remember, and what we believe. Among all that, we tend to sort out the right answers. And the next day, we do it again. It's all good. Len http://www.mp3.com/LenBullard Ekam sat.h, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti. Daamyata. Datta.

(And he was using for database transfers back then, by the way.) The real founders of XML are, more than anything, the founders of SGML, since XML is mostly SGML with the configurable bits lopped off.
