True but not of necessity. When two signals oscillate against each other, they reinforce or produce noise. The problem is to tune them and that takes time and a very good ear, so lots of practice. Web standards are still a folk art and the players aren't yet ready for Carnegie Hall. But the real problem is closed systems can only produce systems of the same type. Systems that attempt to maintain the same identity can't become another type of system. len From: Michael Kay [mailto:mike@saxonica.com] > Um, on reflection I might have over reacted there.

That's quite independent of who is trying to do it. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://www.oasis-open.org/mlmanage/index.php>
