In practice, I think there are a few more shades of gray, since there is lots of local syntax that's used happily in its own little box, and some corners of the world are sharing object models happily, if not precisely globally. In general it seems fair to say that data formats are shared easily, while data processing expectations are only shared with difficulty, often with substantial (and frequently hidden) risk. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com -- http://monasticxml.org
