This list is not a bad one (I guess you wouldn't consider "DTD" an xml vocabulary). I might add OAGIS as a contender for the top 10. It has a trillion dollars of commerce using it in the manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and chemical fields. It isn't marketed well, so it flies under many people's radar. But adoption is everything in standards. Cheers, Paul Kiel ===================================================== W.

(I have a perception of people adopting it, then figuring out they didn't get any extra benefit over using plain old XML. Which is not to say it must always be that way or that my perception is accurate.) Also, the trouble with talking about the top-5 etc is that it can lead to a mentality that the purpose of XML is to allow standardization of vocabularies, whereas in fact it is just as much about allowing localized schemas: the ability to standardize on sector-specific schemas is a side-effect of the semantics-free extensibility.
