In fact I am suggesting that the boundary might be significantly more fuzzy than some/many on this list might view it as being. Of course the suggestion that I am putting forward may be wrong. The initial responses to the thesis have been on a spectrum from "interesting and reasonable" to "the most ridiculous suggestion I have heard in a long time". That divergence of response suggests, to my simple mind at least, that assumptions are differing substantially and that further careful thought might be in order. If Microsoft opens up its XML then it is making or being asked to make ... if my set of assumptions has any validity ... a much more radical change in approach than you seem to assume that it is.
