Yup.  Well, I don't blame you ... and I hear similar frustrations from the 
"data" side about the constraints that XML syntax handling imposes. The 
"data" and "sevices" people with their infosets and datatypes and 
requirements for  millisecond-timeframe XML instance processing certainly 
create challenges.   On balance, I would prefer to preserve and refine what 
is common in the center so that APIs, schema languages, query languages, 
etc. can be shared across both communities.  But I certainly respect the 
hypothesis that the path of least resistance is for the communities to 
fork.

That may well be what's going to happen, for a lot of reasons --  nobody 
can get passionate about muddy  compromises, so the center often does not 
hold.
