I don't dispute the obliteration of TimBL's vision. I don't dispute the
essence of your meme, I am just reiterating to you that some of us have
implemented these standards in ways that align with what you seek i.e.,
work with existing systems. (02)
BTW - I don't know how to make or design technology that ignores the
existence of legacy systems. Likewise, I don't allow my company to make
or sell products that ignore the reality of legacy software :-) (03)
