[XML-DEV Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Demand for web services
Don't forget the statement that launched the thread: "One of my assertions was that the growth of (XML) Web services was promoted by the need to separate content from presentation, users required data in a "pure" form which could then be styled as they saw fit and depending on the front end, their device capabilities etc." - Joe Doug :-) -----Original Message----- From: Bullard, Claude L (Len) [mailto:len.bullard@i...] Sent: Monday, August 01, 2005 12:01 PM To: 'Michael Kay'; 'Doug Rudder' Cc: xml-dev@l... Subject: RE: Demand for web services "In my opinion the separation isn't the principle feature neither in XML nor in Web Services." - Xasima "I agree. It is one of the stronger myths about XML, repeated everywhere and seldom examined critically as you are doing." - Len "It's not a myth; it's a very useful and important part of XML. But only a part, and not always required, as you noted." - Doug It's not a part of XML. That is the myth. It is a design principle. That is not a myth. The tough part is principles in conflict: such as the Principle of Least Power vs The Principle of Separation of Content and Presentation. Let the parsing continue. len From: Michael Kay [mailto:mike@s...] > But XML doesn't care. You do. This started with a discussion as to why Web Services had been adopted, and strayed into a discussion of why XML had been adopted. You seem to be arguing against a viewpoint that I seem to have missed; I don't recall anyone suggesting that XML had views on anything.
