I'm afraid I agree with Jeremy. Sorry guys but the proposals for
change come across to me as half-baked vague dreams that mix together
multiple issues from widely different domains with no actual solution.
I'm finding responding to this ----very--- time consuming and I see no
progress yet on resolving anything. I would appreciate everyone
currently involved focussing the energy they are putting into this
discussion on finishing certification -- I believe all current
participants have access to the tck -- and resuming the discussion with
concrete examples of the dangers of serializaion and the utter coolness
of untrammelled xml AFTER that long delayed milestone.
thanks

Finally, I disagree. I don't want to just drop the ball for an
indeterminate period of time (or at least, what seems indeterminate to
anyone who's not privy to the TCK testing status). I can understand
that
you might not want to actually change the implementation in
mid-stream if
it's going to affect the testing process -- but surely we (especially
those of "we" who are not actively TCK testing) can discuss and
investigate some options in the mean time. I promise to call a vote
before making a change that could derail the certification testing.
:)
I totally agree.
This is an important subject and we have delayed discussions like this
long enough.
