So: 1. If this is a strictly business decision, and that business is interested in global business, Blueberry complicates things by adding cost. 2. If this is a humane decision, based on some comments, certain cultural artifacts disappear from XML's capability to capture if Blueberry is not imlemented. No superstition, no water, no muddling. It's a choice of values. If the choice is to exclude these cultures from self-determined expression, their members are reminded that SGML does provide a solution and is still the international standard for generalized markup voted on by their governments. Choose according to value. It always comes down to who is enabled to choose choices. In this case, who gets to choose your values.

Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: Joel Rees [mailto:rees@s...] This is a valid point about money, and it even relates to locality of control. Large companies with deep pockets often spend a lot of money to use software to centralize control and broaden the range of controls, ergo, to defeat the locality of control. This does generate a lot of software development, although the expected results are not always attained. ;-)
