Even without a 'master', there are some interesting challenges in data that crosses expectation boundaries. One of the fun stories I heard at XML Europe was about two departments in the same company who disagreed about how much markup different parts of documents needed, and neither was happy to add the total of everyone's desires. They declared a truce by writing stylesheets for stripping out markup they didn't like and re-marking the stuff they wanted by hand. I don't know how that turned out in the end or how big a burden it was overall, but it doesn't seem unusual. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com -- http://monasticxml.org
