I probably hear more about it because I encourage it, but people definitely seem comfortable skipping namespaces and using the simplest possible schemas. Stuff that either runs through W3C XML Schema processors but uses 5% of the features, or Schematron, or such.I am not convinced that the campaign for "simplification" of XML is a viable candidate for our attention. The last major campaign - SML - pretty well succeeded, if only for creating YAML and encouraging JSON. I still host these two remnants of past work: http://simonstl.com/articles/cxmlspec.txt http://monasticxml.org/ Neither gets piles of traffic, but the log files suggest that it's steady, mostly search-driven. Mostly I just talk about "markup" these days, and don't care if it's HTML, XML, or something else that marks up text. (Markdown and ASCIIdoc are mostly okay too.) Thanks, Simon
