Hi BB,
Evidently, everybody has not to some very important views
mentioned here.
P.G does not have any rules that could be used by independent
contributors.
From recent statements DP has some consistency rules, but many ways of
doing the same thing. That is not good.
ANA is an attempt to provide guidance towards developing consistency rules.
Once you have those,one can develop tools that abide by these rules.
Polymorphisms, are computationally hard to handle if there is no way to test
there consistency to the over model.
You have created a consistent model from the start of the process to the end.
From the comments here about DP, by others, and some interest of mine a couple of
years ago, DP has no such consistent model.
The way I look at it, is that those that have a say about how and what gets done are
competent in their individual fields, yet they seem to have very little competence in the
fine art of computer science. There are ways to get things done computationally, yet
you must have rules to create models and then software. Sure, one can do without
such models, but you end up with anarchy, which is the state at PG and DP.
regards
Keith.

the first rule of _cleaning_ a spill is to _stop_ the spill.
it does no good to "fix" p.g. books if d.p. keeps sending
"broken" stuff, especially in numbers which overwhelm
all of the other contributors. plus, honestly, books that
come from d.p. are more consistent than all the others.
so any p.g. "change" _must_ start at d.p. that's just life.
fortunately, that's not as bleak as it might sound.
because it wouldn't be _that_ hard to change the d.p. way.
