As a young GIS Analyst working for a City government I have been struggling to convince my leaders to adapt a more open data format for sharing information with the public. Although, they would never say it, I believe their biggest fear is accountability for the data. This movement to XML schema maybe more pull than push. I think educating the public on open formats is the key. Citizen may then begin demanding it from their governments. Thank you for your insights.

Citizens can of course create their own geospatial data, see the openstreetmap and free the postocde projects. Keith,
