So maybe it's a problem of style over substance. Scriptics is a
*business*, after all, doing what businesses do best. And if their
product becomes widely adopted, though it lacks substance
(hypothetically speaking), then it becomes an uphill battle for
everyone who's trying to do the job right.

If that is the case, well, that's the marketplace for ya. The fact
that XML-SIG can't offer a comparable product doesn't indicate any
shortcomings. XML-SIG isn't a business. If we want to succeed in that
environment -- much as I hate to say it -- maybe we need a company
like Scriptics to push our language.
