It was resisted, correctly in my view, as a component of XML-lang itself, and in the decision the point was made several times that the right place for this was one level up, as a generic application.

I'd be interested to hear your reasons for thinking it's a bad idea -- not surprisingly I think it's a good idea -- it puts flexibility in the place it ought to be, and provides clean mechanisms for dealing with precisely the tasks which PEs are messily used for now. Why disagreement about this point should implicate the relation between XML and SGML is unclear to me. ht xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers Archived as: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe, send to majordomo@i... the following message; unsubscribe xml-dev List coordinator, Henry Rzepa (rzepa@i...)
