Oh well, I knew I was going to get something like this when I posted my 
responses.  Will you permit the possibility that instead of my brain being 
half empty, that there are certain facts and experience in it that aren't 
in yours?  Shall we agree to disagree?  I believe that everything you 
describe is probably technically possible.  I just think we have profound 
disagreement on the near term feasibility for general purpose business 
applications targeted toward SMEs.

Concerning just casting stones and not making suggestions for how to 
improve matters, refer to the closing article in my ebXML series.  You'll 
find a lot of suggestions there.
