RE: [emergency] OJP requirement to use the jxdm

["Poindexter, Gary" <gary.poindexter@bearingpoint.com>]

I believe you've missed the point. They have defined compliance in the context of how a schema is constructed and stated that this someone will promote interoperability. They then require "compliance" for all OJP funded projects that use XML. In effect, if you don't follow their guidelines for constructing a schema based upon the jxdm, you are not compliant.

There may have been CAP implementations funded by various groups, but 
the efforts of this Technical Committee at OASIS is funded by no one 
other than the members dedicating their time and any resources they so 
do choose. In short, we are an open standards committee that is not 
directed by any other group.

Good question though - Allen
