When you say that "we" don't need them, do you mean that users don't
need those implementations, or that the major vendors don't need the
competition from them in the Web service space? If you mean the latter,
I can understand the reasoning behind supporting XSD, XPath 2.0, XSLT
2.0, and XML Query.
Are you sure that the distributed application developers really care
about the vendors and not about the technology that gets delivered?
Their managers might care more about the vendors, but I doubt that the
developers do.
