Sandro suggested this as well, and seems to have some ideas in this area. I'm pretty skeptical, but I'll be happy to see proposals. But I think they'd need a lot of vetting and experience before we could rely on them. It's also contra the current trend. GRDDL, for all its horrific, disfiguring, oozy warts, starts from the point of view that XML has it's advantages and that it's better *not* to try to displace it, but to work with it. That's what I like about it. The warts...not so much :) Cheers, Bijan.
