Re: XML-with-datatypes (was....)


predefined data types in xml
When we define the types for XML, of course we don't have to make it a 
superset of every possilbe data type in the world.
The predefined data types in XML Schema is a good basis.
And we just need to define the syntax for the atomic types. The complex 
types can be mapped into element-attribute structure.

If the syntax in XML Schema is more or less sufficient to express all 
the data values we want to exchange in XML, then we are not far off alreay.
