RE: [emergency] Gartner"Here's What's Wrong With XML-Defined Standards"

[Allen Wyke <awyke@blue292.com>]

I could easily go on a tangent as to why this report doesn't fully
capture reality (it tells the truth, but not the whole truth, but I
think the thing to really walk away from this (and John I think this was
your point), is that we need to be smart about how we develop our
standards. We need to take the extra time to see what is out there, to
see how they all fit together, to see how we can best utilize our
energy, and finally to see how to we can help drive adoption. Because
adoption is what will ultimately make our efforts successful.

In my eyes, this validates our need and desire to research the
landscape, to create a requirements document, and to perform the
necessary outreach to bring interest to the group.

Good read - thanx for forwarding.
