Why would adding more datatypes to the ones currently in SGML not be an XML issue? Are you saying that the added types should not be standardized or that it is not up to a metalanguage to provide syntax for conveying structural conventions? I think that there is a lot of value in providing additional distinctions for data. I also think that the SQL basis for the proposal has had enough industry exposure to make it viable as a basis for standardization. I would like to consider how to identify other type classes. Perhaps we should also provide facilities for the object domain: how to identify the validation method for this object. Dave
