Well, I absolutely agree that bottom-up work is required, either by the
CG as a whole, or by its members individually, or by third parties --
preferably all at once. But given James's experience with RELAX NG
(bottom-up) vs. XML Schema (top-down) adoption, I'd guess he'd be in
favor of as much top-down push as we can get. I certainly am, and I
trust the XML Core WG not to make a botch of things (I've been a member
since its founding in 1999).
