Arguments Against SML
Sometimes worse is not better!
- Interoperability the most important principle,
fragmenting the environment could be fatal.
- Existing B2B schemas are generally not SML-friendly
- Compliant XML tools are becoming pervasive, why
build an application when XML Schemas, XLink, XPath, XSL,
etc. are ready for use?
- Legacy encodings are difficult to support without
an XML declaration
