Hi All,

I came across this 2 year old article.
http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2008/05/xrx_a_simple_elegant_disruptiv_1.html

As many of you know I have always proposed (since 1998) that SQL
databases are a bad choice for healthcare applications.
More research certainly needs to be done.  However, how much can be
downsized in the reference model by using the more pure XForms
approach?
Do we need the structural complexity of the existing reference model
if XForms can define both the model and the form?
I'm not yet ready to abandoned the reference model.  But thinking
about it, if we just had HKCR to make available CCDs based only on
XForms;is this sufficient?
