Re: <ADVOCACY> Why I Don't Like XML
Earl, don't look to the 800-lb. gorillas to initiate revolutions. It's
unlikely a gorilla would exclusively mandate a gussied-up UML-modeled
core-componentized ISO 11179 compliant XML based e-business standard.
Medicare is another case in point. That's why HIPAA's TCS Rule strictly
mandates - for the most part - crusty, old X12 EDI for claims, payments
and whatnot. Is that why Martin Morrison is stuck with abominations like
300 megabyte 837 Healthcare Claim transactions? And to this day, 9 years
after HIPAA was promulgated, Medicare itself still can't conform
completely to the "standard" HIPAA EDI guidelines.

Except that the 7x increase in size (125 / 17) is offset by the huge
increase in connection speeds. Something like 47Kb to 10Mb ??

When WalMart sends POs in XML, we'll be ready. Until then,
