While some folks will
deny it, so called XML industry evolved from and still revolves around
XML-DEV. Yes, it’s full of whiners and arcane discussions sometimes, but
that is just part of XML-DEV. OASIS is guilty of taking advantage of
notoriety around XML-DEV to boost its own reputation and then let it rot like
a ghetto.
XML-DEV is not a
mailing list. XML-DEV is a group of people who, over many years, have
formed bonds, mutual respects, and learned to depend on each
other.
fyi, I've been a list
subscriber for quite a while and as far as I am
aware OASIS have had no influence on my
decomposition.
Cheers,
