My goal with the need for an XML spin to any solution we propose is motivated solely by trying to facilitate broader acceptance of our work. I think we are all in agreement that XML has noticably broader acceptance than RDF. today's email (to me and all daml contractors) points me to this url http://www.computerworld.com/storyba/0,4125,NAV47_STO69907,00.html with the following headline: GAO says XML not ready for extensive government use (GAO is Government Accounting Office) While the headline looks negative and thus shows XML still has some work to do to keep its acceptance level growing, it does show that agencies are taking XML seriously in that they are considering XML standards for business partners and putting work into standards that hopefully facilitate more acceptance. -- Deborah L.
