RE: WSIO and Good is Better


RE:  WSIO and Good is Better
There probably are wonks in DC who 
believe this sort of thing.  They tend to be 
a trendy lot.  But it won't work for reasons 
most who have sat around the hotel rooms 
for years are familiar with.  The 
civil servants sit down to wait out the 
administration.  Remember when we were all
told to migrate to ADA and the waivers started 
raining down like holiday confetti?

The base reason is that by the time a 
logistics group is through with their work, 
it comes down to real parts and assemblies, 
not the standards for them.  The migration 
to online procurements, online standards, 
etc is well underway but not there yet. 
Force feeding through the top won't change 
the minds of the engineers.  They will use 
a W3C spec because it is usable.

I wish that the XML.COM article on the CIO draft had actually
included some references to the document.

The article is pitched as if it means that non-W3C (presumably
excepting ISO, formally) specifications are being blocked, rather 
than that W3C is being added to some favoured list.
