++1. If the goal is a superior specification for a superior standard and interoperable implementations, we have to accept better beer brews longer. The trick is to have it on the shelf before the customers are already satiated and wobbling their way out the door. Some gigs are better than others. The best gig is one where the band is booked again before they finish the night. The worst is when the owner asks one to call them next week when he will have his booking sheet. Real results are immediately recognizable. len From: Dare Obasanjo [mailto:dareo@m...] Sprinkling Open Source pixie dust on a product doesn't suddenly make it more succesful, faster or better. Also there have been efforts to come up with an XQuery test suite the same way there is a W3C XML Schema test suite. Again my experiences have shown these processes delay the spec not the make it go any faster. However they improve the chances of interoperability.
