RE: Sky is falling again...


falling again
From this hype "XML is a promising and far-reaching development in computing."

to this bit of soft soaping

"CIOs should take a catalytic role in helping their businesses get ahead of 
the XML proliferation problem-- before it catches up to them."

we see the sort of wonkery that makes a good bathroom read for 
the overpaid.

XML is just a syntax.  If they didn't understand that five years ago, 
they won't know what to do next anyway. 

Anyone:  your boss confidently tells you that XML is to be the 
cornerstone of all future work in your company.  Now, in a low 
voice he asks you, "How do we get started?"

What do you tell him?

"Just because an XML message is "valid" (meets XML standards) does not 
mean it can work with other valid XML messages, or that it will behave 
as expected. As a result, we're losing control of the hundreds of 
disparate XML vocabularies we've developed, the mountains of XML-ized 
data we've generated and the millions of XML-enabled software components 
we've created."

Somewhat wide-ranging and IMHO, not entirely coherent (XML as a 
branding issue?) but nevertheless worth reading to see what everyone 
else is reading.
