Isn't it what I have said ;-) ??? The only way to cope with tool which are conservative in what they accept and perhaps liberal in what they discard is to be conservative in what you send! In any case, if the industry was going in that direction, we would need new types of schema languages: the current ones do filter the structure and content of XML documents without filtering any of the basic XML features. If XML "sub-profiles" (such as defined by SOAP) were to be widely used, we would also need schema languages to express the constraints defined by these profiles!
