Yes, but the bad policy is not in generally favouring
a particular technology stream, but in absolutely
favouring one.
For the life of me, I cannot see why a government agency
would mandate technologies for which there are few
open source tools: it seems they will be locking themselves
into spending on proprietary tools. They have been suckered.
Pity the government people attempting to use XML Schemas
for publishing uses!
