Title: Message
Tell
me about it, I'm already experiencing this first hand (XQuery depends on W3C XML
Schema). What I find interesting is that Henry T is equating "new work" with the
kind of work a *standards* body is supposed to be tackling. This seems to be the
opposite of what a body that should be setting "standards" should be doing and
it shows in the current family of technologies coming out of the W3C.

Henry,
New "science" is arguably a potentially
dangerous approach for a standards-setting body/group to take. Not least when
it is paralleled by associated embedding of requirements for use of the result
(XSD Schema) in other W3C technologies.
