Matthew aks me to kick some *ss in the Cocoon mailing list, then proceeds to create the opportunity.  Of course, I'm only too happy to oblige.

Kimbro says I'm with Dave, I want to know why tables are so bad?  I wasn't going to jump into this dicussion as it isn't really my area, but I've heard the discussions so many times before that I can reasonably parrot them back.

Pick any one web page.  The value of css isn't so apparent.  And the alternatives are reasonable.  But from that web page, click on a link.  Repeat three times.  Now take a look at the page you are on.  Inevitably, it is an HTML page.  Not designed to be printed.  Or viewed by someone who is visually impaired.  Or to be viewed on a WAP phone.  Sure it just *might* have an XML icon in an orange box; in fact it might have two or three.  But go into what you find and follow a link and you are back into the web.

Want to see clean separation of content and presentation?  View source on diveintomark or wannabegirl.  Would you rather the source to this webpage or one of theirs be stored in Xindice?

Dave is proud of his archives that go back nearly five years.  Five years from now when somebody wants to access them, they will quickly realize that they were designed to be viewed by desktop machines.  Their response will inevitably be, "how quaint".

Message Patterns and Interoperability.  Good summary of recent XML-DEV and SOAPBuilders discussions.  References WS-I, DIY, and even my essay.  General conclusion: focus on interoperability is a good thing.

Introducing Cocoon 2.0 by Stefano Mazzocchi.
  7:57:26 PM    

Apache XML Security v1.0.0 was released yesterday.  Quite useful for digital signatures in web services.  A sample is provided with Axis which uses this code.
  5:01:08 PM    

Systinet announces UDDI Interop.
  3:54:54 PM    

Tim O'Reilly comments on the release of VisualStudio.Net.  As always, right on target.
  2:44:22 PM    

Jabber looks to have a lot of different clients to suit multiple tastes.  Found an old entry for myself with a the e-mail address I since decided to keep private for spam avoidance reasons.  As an educational experience, and with the help of stpeter, I deleted my entry by typing in the raw XML:

<iq type='set' to='users.jabber.org'> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:register'> <remove/> </query> </iq>

It seems that everywhere I turn I find old friends.  James Barry and I have crossed paths several times related to both Apache and IBM.

Michael Homeijer is looking for a CMS that integrates well with Cocoon 2.
