My point is not that that namespaces are incomplete but that they are complete. The next step is not necessarily to provide uber registration agnencies such as BizTalk or OASIS although nothing prevents such things. I think the better solution is local registries which the businesses create and administer. It assuredly takes longer for such things to be created, but by interfaces to such, the noise levels are encapsulated and localized. It is by process and definition of how to open and close and structure processes, what I once called views in the older days, that businesses execute and perform. It is necessary to tune these. What we have with wall-to-wall markup systems is the loose coupling by which such message based systems can both operate openly but control visibility. This is necessary because all business processes and instruments have a degree of slop which has to be there to cope with what the Boeing trainers called the unknown-unknowns. > No, that's too long -- I need something shorter and catchier. Ok, but that was a quote from the early sixties folk. Something from the millenial folk: "Only money matters. Only money's gonna pay your bills. Only money matters. You got no money honey, you get no thrills." Not shorter but newer. :-) len xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
