>>>>>>>>>>>> Mike. It is down to vendors providing tools. We (XMLG) are looking at supporting RELAX this year in our product suite. The bottom line is then endusers discovering they can actually get things to work easily using RELAX whereas they have a tough time trying to figure our W3C Schema. The market will truely drive this. I've been meaning to write a PPT about the $50,000 Umbrella. The $50,000 umbrella is designed to W3C spec's and all its parts are guaranteed to work with any other W3C Umbrella. It has XSLT to script how the umbrella opens, and Schema to describe the structure, and namespaces to keep colour panels separate, and SOAP to control how the rods open. Trouble is everyone is using $5 umbrellas because anyone can operate them. The W3C Umbrella needs a $150 per hour consultant to work it for you. That is why people are still using Plain Old DTDs and simple well formed XML, and great tools like Examplotron... It is going to be very interesting to see how all this plays out. And hopefully here the customer is getting choices they did not have before.
