I agree, but I'd add WITH Implementation; I learned that from VRML. A spec can be hashed out quicker in an open process (with some semi-formal procedures, IMHO), then published as a standard, but it's got to have working implementation. VRML did all of this except the last, and it was barrier to successful user adoption (regardless of discussions about the merits or lack of the spec itself) So I'd highly recommend the process work the way it is, but before formal standardization, ensure a (reference) implementation for all or several technologies / platforms. Politically, I think reference implementations on a flavor of Unix as well as NT would be best of course. == John == *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
