I haven't seen much response to Adam Bosworth's commentary on the state of XML and the W3C: http://www.xmlmag.com/upload/free/features/xml/2001/11nov01/et0111/et0111.as p "The size and complexity of the Schema and the Query are staggering. They dwarf that of the relational world. There is no layering, no well-defined starting subset. Make no mistake. These are not easy or simple specifications. The very syntax is intimidating sometimes in its complexity. " "We, the users, need to ask hard questions of the W3C. Are you really helping us and serving our needs? Or are you out of control building increasingly arcane and complex solutions that will cause us pain for years to come? And, if so, what are you going to do to fix it? If we don't get answers, a movement to create kinder, simpler, leaner alternative solutions for processing XML messages may be in order. " This would be pretty inflamatory a year or two ago ... is it the conventional wisdom today?
