I'm having trouble reconciling that (implied) assertion with the thread that more or less concludes at http://lists2.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200110/msg00337.html. If even the W3C Schema people explicitly rejected the idea of basing their work on Murata's work, in what sense is hedge/forest automata the "reasonable model" behind XML? For that matter, if it is true that no commercial RDBMS has implemented more than about half of Codds rules ... and (at least according to some rant by Date I vaguely recall) the current SQL standard says nothing about Codd or the relational model, the SQL people have the same issue. I don't claim to understand the details here, but it seems inappropriate to ignore the actual details of Codds and Murata's technical work when writing the specs and then appeal to their mathematical credibility to market the result. Again, I'm trying to understand this better; if Murata-san, Dr. Fuchs, or someone who understands this better than I do could set me straight, I would be appreciative.
