CAM can be one useful technology.  Again, the assessment of 
the situation/context is the important issue and one asks if 
there are high-level patterns that can be discerned here.

One aside:  reading the CAM page, yet again someone says 
XML is not meant to describe X and then uses XML to create 
an XML application to describe X.   There is a certain 
silliness in pages that do that, but it is the downstream 
ha ha from a community that sold XML as a one size fits 
all solution for interoperation when all it is is a one 
size fits all syntax for portability.

"However XML by itself is only a markup language, it was
never intended to support exacting business
interchange definitions, rules and industry
vocabularies."

It was intended to support whatever you want to support.

"CAM provides a rich yet simple context
mechanism defined in XML syntax that.."

As we may think...
