When is it not a bug?
·
Is the
interoperable canonical data model connecting the systems of a company a bug or
feature. Enterprise Bus design uses the approach.
·
Is the
standardized model created by a vertical market a bug or a feature? MISMO and
HR-XML have been successful with deployment of standardized model.

The beauty of XML is that the syntax can be shared
without sharing the
data models. Data models are not interoperable. Your
model is not mine
which is not Walter's; and that's OK. A standardized
data model is a
bug, not a feature.
