Then we must understand the level above that. The web has become an ecology of abstractions. What XML brought to the party was a common way to express these abstractions and share them in renderings or operations of our own choosings. But the abstractions are the important level of information that now must be shared. For the universe of trade to thrive and cohere, as Frank Herbert wrote, "The spice must flow." It is the schematization of abstractions and the insistence that these remain the property of the commons, not the private profit property of the few that we now pursue. The ASCII thing is done. The killer app is not a web app: it is a tool for creating and rendering abstractions that works in ANY medium. The abstractions are now the commodities of exchange.

Dayadhvam.h -----Original Message----- From: Lauren Wood [mailto:lauren@s...] The fact that XML uses Unicode is important to that saying; the fact that XML misses some of the characters is less important to the 50,000-foot view when telling people why they should look into what XML can do for them.
