I think I understand your perspective. Except, possibly what you intend to mean regarding 'information flow'. Am I correct in that this is in regards from one person to another person via computerized text? So, if I am correct in seeing your perspective that the purpose of XML (in your perspective) is to delineate (markup?) textual content into sections? Also, that XML in its current and probable future state can do this for you in the way that you choose to use it? Can you *PLEASE* tell me how the fact that XML has other components that addresses other uses cases outside your own use case, harms you or your work in any way? IOW: If you are not forced to use XSD or namespaces to accomplish your goals with XML. Why are yo u so adamantly against them when they are useful to other people in different use cases. I have asked questions on this list about XML technologies that are specified and are in common use across domains. Hoping to get answers from people with more experience in XML. Like you, I know my domain. I can make the decision whether or not XML technologies are a good fit, if I can get technological NOT philosophical answers.
