A grove plan would have saved the X3D/VRML project a lot of hassle. It makes it explicit what the properties are to be and the requirements fall out quickly. It would have pointed out fast to the VRML designers who did not grok XML that the hierarchy of VRML where hierarchy is an explicitly named value of a field did not map clearly to the XML infoSet. IOW, at the meta levels. What was not exposed early enough is that one vendor in particular wanted a context free parser for the runtime that could parse VRML, XML and ECMAScript at the same time. This one says, "I don't care if the file is well-formed or not. My parser can handle it." So much for XML1.0 and the Draconian parse. len *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
