Re:  Simple
My working principle is this: start simple because it will get more complex before you know it.

Hi Folks,

Is XML 1.0 a simple data format language, or a dumbed down data format
language?

Is JSON a simple data format language, or a dumbed down data format
language?

Is XML Schema 1.0 a simple schema language, or a dumbed down schema
language?

Is XSLT 1.0 a simple XML scripting language, or a dumbed down XML
scripting language?

Is simplicity good (because it makes languages and notations accessible
to the masses), or does simplicity merely lower the collective
intelligence of the planet?

Do richer, more expressive, more complex languages and notations elevate
the collective intelligence of the planet, or do they merely form
priesthoods?

Should the role of standards organizations be to create simple standards
to make them accessible to the masses, or should standards organizations
invite the masses to stretch to new intellectual heights?
