Rather than strictly re-visit the multiple namespaces issue (or detract
from the SML/RTSML/XML/WAP/RSS etc. threads), I wanted to request if list
members can allow me to inquire further regarding a possible solution
ssuggested by Paul as to my question some time back, viz. the following
(question follows this short snip-set of preceding discussion):

Paul's suggestion of Arch. forms is making more and more sense,
but--accordingly--it's getting me toward a little on the worrisome side as
to supporting software. I've yet to begin puttering with PL/SQL for our
current Oracle setup and, while we're preparing soon to seriously look at
SIM, I'm wondering if anyone out there has suggestions of possible
software we could/should be looking at (Steve Muench on this?) for working
with ORacle and Arch. Forms for the time being?
I've looked at Eliot Kimber's article ofn SGML Architectures at
http://www.isogen.com/papers/archintro.html and noted Clark's SP works
with Arch Forms, beyond htis, however, I'm uncertain as to where to
proceed/turn.
Suggestions?
Thank you very much,
