I think there may be another useful distinction between camps in the XML world besides the well-known "document" vs. "data" one. I think Walter, Simon, and others belong to a "publishing" group that stands in contrast to the "messaging" group. In a publishing model, as we observe on the Web, there is little opportunity for the creator of a document to negotiate with its recipient. As a result, fewer, more fundamental, more syntactic agreements are required to achieve interoperability. In a messaging model, the creator and receiver of a document have the opportunity to negotiate prior agreements such as schemata, use of binary serializations, particular APIs, etc. in order to produce more efficient communication. Systems that rely on accessing "publish"-style data, like Walter's and Google, are hopelessly lost when faced with "message"-style data, since they cannot be parties to all the necessary agreements. That is how currently working integrations can be harmed by the proposed suggestions, unless they are used in a true messaging context internal to a system and never leaked to the outside world, or even the remainder of the enterprise. -- Kian-Tat Lim, ktl@k..., UTF-7: +Z5de+pBU-
