I will be looking into running enovdl under mono to see if I can get a bona fide UBL example up and running. After posting it to the UBL TC I will link to it from XML-Dev. >As always there is the concern about availability of main-stream >implementations on Windows and non windows platforms (we mostly use >these in production). Indeed. >You appear optimistic about this ?? I'm optimistic that the user community will pressure vendors and technology providers to solve problems users identify with standardized solutions when users value the solution well enough to make the vendors interested. (how's that for hedging?) It is a chicken-and-egg problem that needs to be, I believe, kick-started by the users. If I can demonstrate NVDL working for UBL solving a known problem with a standardized solution, then UBL users can go to the vendors and say "are you planning to implement or can you support me with this standardized technology?". If enough people get interested, then I think vendors will get interested. I hope vendors do get interested in standardized solutions. Within about 6 weeks NVDL will be an International Standard. RELAX-NG and Schematron are already International Standards. The technology is waiting to be embraced, and it was created to solve known problems in the markup space. Now's the time to deploy them and show their benefit. Will any vendors on this list comment on whether the standardized nature of these problem-solving technologies will interest them in providing solutions? Will any users on this list comment on whether they will approach their vendors with interest in these new technologies that solve new problems? Am I optimistic? A good markup friend called me Quixotic. . . . . . . . . . . .
