Re: [xml-dev] [offtopic] your participation is necessary

Hi Dmitry,

If you are looking for implementations, the best way is generally to 
implement it yourself, or find someone who is excited about your ideas 
and convince them to implement it. A standards committee is a very 
indirect way to get implementations, and if you want to propose this as 
a standard, a community of users and implementations will help you make 
your case.
