RE: COMPLEXITY BIG ISSUE

Bob
 
I've received three emails today like this one asking me to help people get
of the ebXML transport list - there have been around 40 emails today alone
!!
 
The trouble is I don't know how to do it and I can't find anything on the
ebXML web site.
 
Can you help
 
David

No. I was looking for something that provided guidelines on: 
1. Criteria for identifying a "good" XML definition 
2. Guidlines for when to use attributes vs elements 
3. How to name things 
4. How to plan for schemas ... 

etc

<David> 
Not so fast.

I agree. 

<David> 
and wouldn't it be nice if there was an ebXML "style guide" for writing XML,

Were you refering to something like this:

Interestingly enough, one can find section: "A.10 Optional DTD and schema 
representations are subordinate to the ASN.1 specification". 

<David> 
PS perhaps I'm starting the "religous war" by raising this issue now ... ;-)

I think we have to raise all the issues that we perceive as important (early

stage => find and prioritize issues (risks)) without being afraid that it 
might generate ...
