IMHO, the OMG has produced some top quality specifications based on some top quality ideas. The XML family of technologies, esp. X-Protocol, RDF, UDDI, ebXML, etc would gain alot from familiarising themselves with some of these specs. XML with HTTP technology has two key advantages over CORBA, simplicity and HTTP clients & servers are already pervasive. However, I do sometimes feel that XML technologies lag behind and tend to re-invent the wheel because the creators are unaware that the issues have already been addressed elsewhere. Lee
