I
agree. Very important.
Have
you considered the costs of
maintaining your proprietary XML processor over
that
of one tested by millions of other people?
Has
your boss considered what it costs to recertify
the
software that has to interface with your XML
processor every time you release it? Has the
spike
in certification costs from your bosses'
department
brought him up before the Cert review board?
Have
his
customers begun to complain about the problems
of
getting changes to the shared document type
which
your bosses' department maintains
exclusively because changes to the
type mean
changes to your processor which means a
new
certification of your processor and all
code
dependent on it?
Have
you polished your resume lately?

In the end, deciding what subset of parser should be used for
development is every bit as important as deciding what subset of XML should be
used for DTD or Schema
definition.
