The fundamental problem is that we need to agree on a type system. The next problem is that we have to decide via committee. As David Chappell recently said "only a committee is capable of deciding something that is dumber than any of its participants". What one group believes to be technically solid, another group will find technically weak. The situation has been the same with every Web-based technology including HTTP. The power is in compromise. -aaron
