Think about how hard it was to hand crank a car engine to start it.

Subject: SML: The size of the processor is not the issue Guys, There is a lot of talk about how trivial it is to add support for syntactic feature X to an XML processor and how the gains of removing it in a putative SML are just not worth it. I believe this is missing the point. Imagine a world swimming in XML. *Everything* from Spreadsheet file formats to HTML will be well formed XML. It follows that a lot of XML processing will revolve around transforming XML from one form to another. It is in this space, transforming XML to XML, that the cost of all XML 1.0 features are paid. Take the most trivial XML to XML transformation -- the null transformation. Think about how hard it is do this for arbirtary XML 1.0 documents. regards, <Sean uri="http://www.digitome.com/sean.html"> Developers Day co-Chair WWW9, April 2000, Amsterdam <uri>http://www.www9.org</uri> </Sean> xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
