If you are implementing XML internationally you need this book. I normally don't like "textbooky" kinds of books but in this case, the practicality of this book was really helpful. The chapter on Architectural Best Practices is really good.

Excellent choice for international implementation. Far exceeds other options in guidance materials. Worthy of the 50 bucks, and will continue to serve as a valuable reference to my employees.
