Nice mix Rick. I'm more interested in James other comment, quote: Then there are the specs. For JSON, you have a 10-page RFC, with the meat being a mere 4 pages. For XML, you have XML 1.0, XML Namespaces, XML Infoset, XML Base, xml:id, XML Schema Part 1 and XML Schema Part 2. Now you could actually quite easily take XML 1.0, ditch DTDs, add XML Namespaces, xml:id, xml:base and XML Infoset and end up with a reasonably short (although more than 10 pages), coherent spec. (I think Tim Bray even did a draft of something like this once.) But in 10 years the W3C and its membership has not cared enough about simplicity and coherence to take any action on this. end quote. That seems a nice mix. Rather than upping the existing XML to rev + 1, why not have a.n.other rec, doing just this and have the integration, leaving XML as is for those that don't want to move? -- regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk
