If you want to have a real say in the matter - become a specification or standards author. Dgc Darryl G.

Subject: Client XML vs Message XML At some point, it is necessary to confront the specification and standards authors and make them understand that object-oriented client design and message or document (really, say data) XML design aren't the same thing and are bad practice to conflate. The results of conflating these are very big honkin' schemas that beggar the implementation, don't get market traction, and cause the unwary agency to spend a lot of taxpayer dollars on projects that don't get good results fast. XML doesn't know about semantics or object-oriented objects, and it's a crummy way to declare a client specification for much beyond the bits on the wire. Using it to advance the cause of object-oriented databases ahead of their time is a profoundly bad idea. It just makes the pig mad. len ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://www.oasis-open.org/mlmanage/index.php>
