RE: <ADVOCACY> Why I Don't Like XML
Earl, to your statement "When Wal-Mart sends POs in XML, we'll be ready.
Until then, fagetaboudit.." You may want to go to Google and do a search on
"Wal-Mart xml" and "Wal-Mart EAN.UCC". While they may not be sending PO's to
your customers, they are and have been active participants providing
leadership in several EAN.UCC (now GS1) XML initiatives. Statements that
they do not see the benefits in XML are inaccurate.

Except that the 7x increase in size (125 / 17) is offset by the huge
increase
in connection speeds. Something like 47Kb to 10Mb ??
"The data transmitted expands to the available bandwidth"
When WalMart sends POs in XML, we'll be ready. Until then, fagetaboudit..
