Ascending to XML There are a lot of binary languages out there. I wonder, how can one translate these into XML languages in the easiest possible way, without having to program a module to perform the translation every time a new binary language appears. The solution I think, is to build something similar to an XSLT processor. Something which uses a translation specification for each binary language. I read that in the SGML world there is the concept of a Groove and a Notation Processor, that is, a processors capable of creating SGML representations of binary and other formats; or that's my understanding. However this would seem not to include a generic system for specifying binary formats. Is this true -- or has this wheel been invented? Of course there's a limit to what such a translation system could do but I think it could probably be used for quite a lot of formats without too many extensions for special cases.
