With the recent and past threads on all subjects touching XML, this article from Ed Dumbill at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/10/24/selfishtag.html interesting. He seems to have uncovered the objectivist viewpoint on using standards. Ayn Rand would probably approve of his "virtues of selfishness). :-) There is no penalty for thinking critically. This attitude toward the organizations, the documents, the webUberAll movement is refreshing and sorely needed. Markup systems are and despite the HTML blip that replicated genCoding, have always been about ensuring the greatest possible freedom for the information owner to determine how that information will be handled. It is good to see such an article from the XML community. len
