Claudio,
I'm not (at all) sure I understand the question. If you mean "descriptive" markup vs. "procedural" markup ... XML can be used for either, though it's particularly well-suited to the latter. In the use case I'm describing, your XML would likely be "descriptive" hence "represent[ing] data, not instructions". Maintain your data in XML, use HTML to publish it. Nothing radical there at all. How do you take it I was comparing XML with HTML? What I was describing was an architecture for a publishing system that takes advantage of XML but requires neither client-side, nor dynamic server-side processing to get from XML into HTML or other formats such as PDF. In return for accepting some limitations (e.g. user-configured rendering), you get quite a bit of freedom in this model. Probably that doesn't clarify, so if you could rephrase what you don't understand in what I said, I'd be grateful. :-> Cheers, Wendell At 12:55 PM 7/1/2003, you wrote: Wendell, ====================================================================== Wendell Piez mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Mulberry Technologies, Inc. http://www.mulberrytech.com 17 West Jefferson Street Direct Phone: 301/315-9635 Suite 207 Phone: 301/315-9631 Rockville, MD 20850 Fax: 301/315-8285 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mulberry Technologies: A Consultancy Specializing in SGML and XML ====================================================================== XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
