Hi All,

Would you not agree that this list (and the human experience of artistic
endeavour generally) is testament to the notion that fine works are almost
invariably the work of individuals, and conversely, the work of teams is
usually mediocre, at best. Most of the truly insightful software I've
encountered was authored by one or two; most of the lousy software was
written by corporate teams. Isn't the plethora of inane 'standards' around
XML evidence that it's doomed to rest in the latter category?

Cheerio,
Matt Bennett
