john,
Horses for courses naturally. We're both on the RELAX NG TC - so no surprises
here.
The three stand-out things with CAM for me are
1) Ability to manage context and tie to external processes
2) Ability to reference registry of semantics
3) Ability to capture business rule sets and share them across communities of
interest (CoI)
This is not for everyone - since many people just want a lightweight 'quickie'
fix (aka XSD). But eventually - once they become involved with multiple tens
of trading partners and exchanges - they begin to see why these are vital in
being able to reach towards lights-out deployment support instead of lights-on
and hands-on.
DW.
