Welcome to Orcmid's Lair, the playground for family connections, pastimes, and scholarly vocation -- the collected professional and recreational work of Dennis E. Hamilton

 
mnot: Boo!.  This article, spotted by Bill dehÓra, provides an interesting analysis of XML as a carrier for certain kinds of already-structured (or not) content.  This article also provides useful links and an XML Protocol (aka SOAP) Working Group perspective.  Author Mark Nottingham thinks that "the real question here — and boy, is this the elephant in the virtual room — is whether XML Infoset is the best base for users to model data upon." Tim Bray comments that it is enough that XML is the current best way to interchange data, and does not himself claim that XML is the best way to model data.
