On your site (http://www.clearmethods.com) it says:
"a compact syntax called ConciseXML that is backward
compatible with XML 1.0"
You might say you could write ConciseXML that is compatiable
but then what is the point of using it? You are just writing valid
XML.
Will it display in IE or NS
I doubt (really compatible eh?) Part of the idea of XML was so it could be used for many things. from websites to being used as an important part of the next Longhorn Windows. The file system is based on XML. Office 11 will have document formats based on XML and I can't see Microsoft including support for it in IE7. I am already having problems with the lack of browser support for XML/XSLT. We don't need to add a XML variation to the already packed standards pool. Some of the ideas in it are good but it is not needed. rcxau
