Mikael considered it a draft. Perhaps it just needs to be tested (as I
said, I ran into problems with it, which haven't yet been worked
through). Also, if there are other serializations, they should also be
linked to the specification.
And, as I have found, a DSP in XML isn't directly usable for folks who
are wanting to implement... It may be that we have to create another
layer that translates easily from DSP to application. This has NOT been
the practice in the DCMI community from what I can tell. Instead, there
has been tendency to steer clear of implementation details. But the
world needs to implement. If there is a desire to keep underlying
standards and implementation separate, perhaps we can share
implementations on an area of the DC site. That doesn't, of course,
address issues that may arise between the standards and implementation,
but I for one am willing to move forward and ad lib a bit in order to
move things forward. We can address conflicts (or alleged conflicts)
over time, without having them hold up some interesting new developments.
