Hello Bryan said: For something to be valuable there should be a potential to extract value from it. I cannot, and most people cannot, extract value from the knowledge of either Paris or Addis Ababa as capital cities (Jeopardy players are an exception ) what one can extract value from is the sort of knowledge about the places that enables understanding of their futures, basically since extracting value is a process that cannot be done immediately. Didier replies: So, the bottom line is that if there only value in reading the information, then this is why HTML is the web's king and why XML a barely existing shadow. If, on the other hand, there is more to do then read the info and if the publisher has some vested interests to make it available for other purposes then reading it, then we will see a shift toward XML. It is as simple as that.... :-) Cheers Didier PH Martin
