RE: Co-operating with Architectural Forms


RE:  Co-operating with Architectural Forms
Or the entire framework has a root called "object". 
Smalltalk, yes.  Elegant.

Urrmm... calling the GI a type has descriptive 
usefulness, but using it as a type is a higher 
level processing implication.  Isn't that precisely 
why RELAX made validation its focus? 
Isn't that why people want a pipelined architecture?
Nothing Steve claims changes the way Jonathan wants 
to *use* XML.  Both can be right but Steve is arguing 
that Jonathan's use is one of many possible as long 
as namespaces don't lock the GI to a *type*.  Isn't 
that why the spec stayed silent on any *use* past 
disambiguation?

Parts and assemblies:  it's in the way that you use it.

And phenomenological to boot.

Mind game: Imaging a UML tool where all classes are instances of a single
uber-class with an attribute called "type".
