SOAP/XMLPP have created an incompatible subset of XML such that general-purpose XML generators cannot reliably be used to generate their messages, and general-purpose XML procedssors cannot reliably be used to receive them. It looks like a subset, walks like a subset, quacks like a subset. If this is going to happen, it should happen only once and the subset should be well-defined and based on consensus. It is indeed instructive that the two subsets seem pretty well isomorphic. -- Cheers, Tim Bray (ongoing fragmented essay: http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/)Received on Tue Apr 1 16:40:38 2003
