Brad,
I'm perplexed. What makes the MISMO DTD's any less proprietary than
RosettaNet's? MISMO addresses the mortgage bankers industry, RosettaNet
addresses the electronic components suppliers/mfgrs industry, etc.
Every DTD/schema for an XML-based document is proprietary to either than
company, organization, association of whatever that created it. The only
thing "standard" is the W3C XML syntax itself, i.e., the rules.
There are NO standard DTD's ... they are all proprietary.

Michael,
Speaking from the Mortgage Banking industry's perspective, the MBA has
created MISMO(Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance
Orginization)www.mismo.org. MISMO has created DTD's for business critical
data for the Mortgage industry. They have done this without succumbing to
the proprietary formats that are being forwarded by companies like
RosettaNet and Microsoft. The standards are a collection of W3C compliant
XML DTD's that are platform/API independent. This organization has done a
superb job and all TPs that I have worked with, on XML implementation, have
been more than willing to follow these standards. Neither X12, nor EDIFACT
was created by and for any specific application and XML should remain
equally autonomous. I look forward to the continuing work of ebXML, for
non-industry specific paradigms.
Thanks,

Which are becoming prevalent in what industries?
