On a less-histrionic note, I'd like to point out that the (probable) use of XML in the RDF effort is likely to raise the profile of XML significantly. Also, the use of a DTD, as Terry pointed out, provides a machine-checkable syntax definition for which several tools are already available, thus reducing the chance of bugs in the spec, since you could check your examples and cases with a tool. Seems like a win to me. -- David ------------------------------------------+---------------------------- David Durand dgd@cs.bu.edu| david@dynamicDiagrams.com Boston University Computer Science | Dynamic Diagrams http://www.cs.bu.edu/students/grads/dgd/ | http://dynamicDiagrams.com/ | MAPA: mapping for the WWWReceived on Tuesday, 7 October 1997 14:16:26 GMT
