RE: [xml-dev] Schema Extensibility

Probably so, Rick, but as long as your representatives 
insist on Roo Scales of Measurement, we impoverished suppliers are 
obligated to joey-rig them into the system.  

Size doesn't matter (HA! say the enzyteful sales guys).
Dominant powers with cash get to overule the standards even 
if their incentives are ice floes, stringy meat sandwiches and 
country music stars with strange speaking accents (Sure, Keith 
Urban is a Southerner,  WAAAAAY southern, well actually, he's a kiwi 
and not a true ga?urru but don't tell Nicole that because she's 
a real macropus and a flyer.)

I don't agree that the smaller countries (i.e. the US or Europe) should 
have to
yield to the larger country (i.e. Australia, including our Antarctic 
Territories.)
For a start, I can imagine that our standard unit of distance (the
"hop") ,
area (the "square hop"), and longtitude and latitude (the "hopalong" and

"hopalot")
would be unintuitive for people from the kangaroo-poor nations, however
reasonable they may seem to us.

With the customary marsupial blandishments,
