This has stood the test of time, IMHO -- even though it was directed at a 
"document" audience, SOAP 1.1 / 1.2 implicitly came to a very similar position 
on what is commonly supported and interoperable in XML. Still, we really ought 
to revisit at least the namespaces section ... and analyze what really works 
across the board in schema languages, etc. 

One of these days, we need to setup the XML Best Practices Wiki, weblog, 
discussion list, or something that we talk about every few months.  Leigh has 
volunteered to host it off Eclecic, as I recall, but the real problem is human 
resources ... danged day jobs! 

Everybody buy lottery tickets and fund the XML Sanity Foundation if you win 
:~)
