The fundamental complaint I have about XML-DEV is that people are very good at generating megabytes of mail traffic about technologies they neither have used nor tried to understand. XML-DEV is a festival of cranky old men complaining about the "youth of today" and how things were better in the XML world in the old days. I've read the few complaints about XQuery & XSLT 2.0 and besides irrational FUD about dependencies on W3C XML Schema have failed to see any valid issues brought up. This is unfortunate since I was hoping I'd see more criticisms of the family of specs from a technical perspective besides what we've done internally during our own review process. -- PITHY WORDS OF WISDOM Mincing your words is a good thing because you may have to eat them later.
