I think you are right --- we have a situation where a bunch of different scientists are each publishing data, meant to be used by others. XML schema forces them into a model where they all have to agree to a schema and use that to publish their data. If one of them has a new kind of data that hasn't been thought off before, then it could be tough luck. Maybe it's this distributed extensibility that is important. I can see why in certain domains (like financial stuff) the centralized approach is preferred but in other areas, the distributed extensibility might be better. Wonder if there is a way of doing it with XML Schemas or Relax. guha Margaret Green wrote: > 1.
