If any organization is going to develop a profile or IG or whatever, and expect or rely on others to create the Schematron, then they have an obligation, IMO, to provide the necessary test data files that will be used to make sure the Schematron that is written is accurate. Further, they should be actively involved in the test development process so the whole operation moves forward in a timely and well coordinated fashion, resulting in something everyone can point to and say "you can rely on this." <br /><br />This, to me, is a gating factor in moving forward on any of the other points you raise. Without this commitment and cooperation from spec developers, then we have no end-to-end process that results in a sense of veracity and utility of the tools in question, and they will remain useful-to-a-point, and that point would be far removed from what any production-oriented developer would require. At best, they would be better experimental tools, but still experimental.<br /><br />By the way, I think the work done by the NIST folks and others to date is nothing short of Herculean and heroic, given that they have made such significant strides in the current environment. I can only imagine what we can accomplish by following through on all of these suggestions for improvement.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524410544376683712noreply@blogger.com
