RE: [xml-dev] ten years later, time to repeat it?

["Len Bullard" <cbullard@hiwaay.net>]

Negotiation reveals content.  Process ensures opportunity.  Players
determine the ambient experience.  It can be fun and productive.  It really
depends on the crew.

Tim Bray has a good proposal on the floor.  Make it a version change so we
are clear about where this is going, and FWIW, I think it an excellent
pursuit. 

Simon is right.  Ten years is long enough.  If the W3C won't, XML-Dev can.
That is why it is Dev. ;-)

Standards body processes can be ugly, annoying, political, and slow but
they do tend to weed out a much greater percentage of the serious
mistakes and ambiguities.
