It will not be that James' is wrong; it will be wrong 
when what is said is that he has said something.   

I contend that XML Schema is useful. I read his email 
to say that there are good alternatives that are equally 
useful and that it is wrong if the IETF chooses one to 
the exclusion of others.  I agree with that.

He also pointed out some misfires of XML Schema. I 
agree with that. They don't make a case for throwing the 
baby out with the bathwater.  I don't think he said 
that; I think that will be made of what he said.

James is mortal.  He is smart; he is well-educated 
and he is an expert.  So is Henry.  Decisions about 
technology shouldn't be made by choosing among 
personalities but by choosing among features that 
work or don't and that are adequate to the case at hand.

No size fits all.  Some fit most.
