to be able to complicate XML enough that programmers will buy their editors and
APIs, rather than using simple, free tools like emacs and Xerces like they are now."

  Since there are only so many binary infosets vendors, and I work for one, I
can only feel directly attacked here. You make serious accusations, show your
proofs or admit to be spreading FUD.


Robin,

I wondered why Elliotte was reticent in responding to your points. His Web site indicates he is on holiday until 11th August with the bliss of no Internet access for much/all of that period.
