In my prior post, I said "HTML is strictly a presentation language and is no good for data presentation." What I meant to say is "HTML is strictly a presentation language and is no good for data representation." Data representation is what it's all about when it comes to B2B flows. Presentation just makes it look pretty but without meaning. Sorry for the confusion... Sam

we need to find better ways of integrating these systems and a standard based on XML is probably one of the better ways to do it. I have no problem with that. It's called Forms input. You can do it with any programming language you choose. Pardon me for simplifying it down to ADD, INSERT, DELETE. Gee. Why don't we create a whole new language call it something else. Put it on a microsoft platform and hide the code from everybody. Then we can say it's better stronger and faster and the programmers can double their salary. Then we can baffle everyone with our BS. IMO, Commerce One and Ariba are Smoke and Mirrors.
