On the one hand, as one who's not expert in those areas, I'm very excited to discover that these formalisms have been so carefully developed. Not reinventing the wheel seems like the right approach. Having said that, David Orchard was on the call making the case that even my relatively simple efforts to present set theoretic approaches separately from programmatic descriptions like XML Schema were a step away from the sort of approachable commonsense explanations that our readers will be looking for. Honestly, I find that wikipedia article tough going, and I have to believe that many readers of a TAG finding on versioning will seek something much easier to understand. Trying to head in the direction you're signaling while writing something that typical finding readers will grok looks like a bit of a challenge. If we can do it, cool! -------------------------------------- Noah Mendelsohn IBM Corporation One Rogers Street Cambridge, MA 02142 1-617-693-4036 --------------------------------------
