    Subject: RE: [emergency] GJXDM vs EDXL Distribution isses


    I think Rex is being extremely generous when he says "the GJXDM ... appears
    to start from a model and then builds the base or core set of functionality
    types and then puts those into a hierarchy that allows for an
    Object-Oriented descent of inheritance of properties from those core types."
    "Appears" is the keyword. Having worked with this beast from it's inception,
    I believe the theory was much better than the implementation and appearance
    is deceiving.
    
    I believe he is on target with "...developing a best practice to sort out
    elements from the XSDs and identify when to use one over the other for
    specific purposes and issue guidelines for using namespace prefixes
    correctly..."
    
    The gjxdm tried to be all things to all people and thus is full of
    ambiguity. Creating a best practice based on real-world
    experience/implementations to eliminate the ambiguity and tighten up
    structures will be helpful to this TC as well as others. If the gjxdm shoe
    fits, there is no reason not to wear it. Being precise and truly
    hierarchical should trump following the gjxdm.
