[sc34wg3] occurrence - basename fuzzy border

| A bit childish a response, Steve. My point was, while obviously we
| are all here trying to develop a technology, your suggestion,
| similar the one Michel made during our TopicMaps.Org days on adding
| base names to occurrences, seem based on a vendor's ideas or needs
| for their application. In the case of Michel's, we in the end didn't
| add the feature for the reasons I cited in my last message, and
| applications have been able to come up with other ways of doing it.

People have used the "you only say X because you have your commercial
interests at heart" card against us Ontopians so many times, and in
such sly and disgustingly disingenuous ways, that the only response
you can expect to any suggestions in that vein is a breakdown in
further communication.

Admittedly this was not the worst instance of this offense by far, but
I don't understand why you find it difficult to accept that people are
upset by having doubts cast upon their personal honesty and
professional integrity.

Also, why do you automatically assume that Steve holds the opinion he
argues for? In discussions like these we need to have light cast on
all sides of a question, and so *someone* should argue for both views.

Now I've had my say on this. Let's go back to the technical discussion.
