[more on how to fix SMTP, following up Michael Kay in response to me]
In my other life (or lives) this matters to me, but ...
is there anything that XML, as a technology, can contribute toward the
solution? I don't think so, but I'm willing to be convinced.
if not, is there any particular reason for discussing the redesign of
TCP/IP and SMTP here? There are places where discussion of such a
redesign may well be highly productive (IETF mailing lists, mostly,
although some may prefer more proprietary environments). Here it seems
simply to contribute to email fatigue (xml-dev always goes through my spam
filters).
is there something in the discussion that ought to be applied to the
design of XML technologies? This seems more likely (at least more
*possible*), but again, I haven't seen those suggestions either.
Not to be rude, but complaining about the problems of email and the
principles of the redesign of TCP/IP and SMTP to a few hundred people on a
mailing list devoted to an entirely other topic seems easy to label
(perhaps unjustly) part-of-the-problem.
Like *this* email, for instance. *sigh*
