[Discussion about a *single* tool - Perl - from the genus "Unix familiy of line
oriented text processing apps" elided]

Since when is Perl == Unix family of line oriented text processing apps?

The world is littered with s/w tools that have line length
limits. These tools are *blown* by WS-less XML.

Throw out that grep, that text editor, that fgets(), that diff,sort,uniq utility
There all busted for XML use.

P.S.

"Crock". I'll add that to my collection of spicy ripostes I have had
accumulates over the course of this thread.:-)

Time to end.

If nothing else, David's five paragraphs have been born from this.
I suggest they should be mandatory reading for anyone approaching
XML development.

It is clear that I see a problem that others don't.
Thus the odds are I am wrong.
I hope so.
