Thanks for you input Ken.
I fully believe everyone's intent here with XML is that this occur and that
we begin to see a real shift toward getting the SMEs on board. I fully
agree with this intent and I don't judge that anyone has wrongful intent
here.
But what I see is that most have misjudged the underlying BIG problem in
EDI and we are now then going through a major paradigm shift from X12 to
XML without having solved (or even been aware) of the cause of this major
problem in EDI.
I am no "EDI only" bigot and would LOVE to scrap EDI for the next better
model. We certainly need to move to a better model beyond EDI. I just
don't see that XML/edi supplies that model. It will still require
programmer mapping, maintenance and support just as X12 does and thus be an
expense that will crowd out the SMEs.
