Stephen,
MicroXML, like XML before it, failed to explicitly acknowledge the architecture of the Web, so
it will fail on the Web too, IMHO. Failure on the web has little to do with namespaces, which
is the dominant 'problem' addressed by MicroXML.
If it had included simple hyperlinks, @href, @src, @type, @rel,
it would have a better chance at
succeeding on the Web.
But I think the major impediment to adoption on the Web is the browser, which plays nicely with
html/css, images and javascript but not with anything else. So it is simply what Jirka identifies: developers
can use json-p across origins to get access to the data their applications demand, so XML is
as a result a non-starter.
Funny thing, I only recently came across the SLink proposal and some commentary about it
from the browser crowd. It seems that in the drive to eliminate 'application' semantics from
XML, the application called the Web was eliminated also.
