Thanks John. It doesn't explain why these ideas died with a whimper other than there was no clamor for it. For Peter, I think the challenge is to pose the problem(s) that will be solved by adding linking semantics to XML that aren't solved otherwise. Given the near obsession with HATEOAS of late, he might do well to start with the state-diagrams where uncertainty is flattened away by the application designer so the need for an n-way link and external links becomes like supersymmetry, a solution to a problem of the theory but nothing practical. ;) I'm off to accompany Jerry Garcia into Mordor to see if hobbits are really aliens with hairy feet. len -----Original Message----- From: John Cowan [mailto:cowan@ccil.org] On Behalf Of John Cowan Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 7:53 PM To: Len Bullard Cc: Rushforth, Peter; xml-dev@lists.xml.org Subject: Re: "Introducing MicroXML, Part 1: Explore the basic principles of MicroXML" Len Bullard scripsit: > http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/XML/afng.html > > John Cowan might be able to explain what became of this work.
