Yep, I think Manos got it completely backwords. Shit happens :-)

I'm a technical person, but I still can't understand where the
discussion is going. XSD, XSLT, RDF, etc. What about it? Manos said that
"no more rendering" discussions, I'd say, *please* cut the technical out
of it. If you keep RDF and XSchemas out of it, my experience tells me
that it will eventually choose itself, pure natural. This is what I mean
when I say that some (most) should study some tao. Technical discussions
without a purpose is simply confusing (K'ung Fu-tse). I've been
repeating this message over and over again, perhaps one time too many I
guess.

But if I understood Manos correct he is going to provide a real use case
for HumanML? HumanML as a vital part of cyberspace infrastructure isn't
clean enough even though it is my motivation. At least it's too fuzzy to
put in an OASIS pressrelease. Some of us are system designers, or
architects if you like, and as such sometimes we must bet on future
technology. Sometimes it will give you nothing, sometimes a fighter
plane is build.

Cheers,
