Let's just keep the W3C out of it. ok, but where does the xml api really start and where does it really end? that is the question... sometimes we get fixated with the idea that there is only one CPU and one communications link. It might have been this way in the past in the Commodore 64 and PDP-11 days but it's not like this now and certainly won't be like this in the future either.. in those days.... the computer only extended as far as the the serial lines and the line printer.... now... the computer stretches right the way round the developed world... so the parser is not the full extent of the api... just an ever diminishing part....
