Well,
Once again, the press is able to predict our every move with great
precision :-)
Apparently we're supposed to be weighing in on XLink vs HLink.
Are we considering this issue? Is it on the agenda somewhere? I musta
missed it...

Dear Reader,
It seems a while since we had a decent controversy in the XML
world, but the recent publication of XHTML 2.0 may well be
providing us one. The XHTML working group declined to use XLink,
the W3C linking specification, for linking purposes, and instead
created their own, HLink.
In the XML-Deviant column this week, Kendall Clark provides an
introduction to the HLink specification. You can find that at
<http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/09/25/hlink.html>.
As a companion to Kendall's article, Micah Dubinko has written a
dialogue that investigates the rationale for HLink versus XLink.
Achilles and the tortoise meet for an online chat at
<http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/09/25/linkoffering.html>.
As I write, the W3C's Technical Architecture Group are weighing
into the debate, so expect to see more developments reported on
XML.com next week.
Continuing the theme of debate, this week the creators of the
XMLPULL API for Java respond to an article we published on their
API a few weeks back. Aleksander Slominski and Stefan Haustein
defend their API, and report on progress made since the first
article was written. Read more at
<http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/09/25/xmlpull.html>.
Also this week we have the second part of the double-bill premier
of Uche Ogbuji's Python and XML column. This week, Uche provides
a short update on Python & XML community "happenings", and
introduces the PyXML package. Find Uche's second installment at
<http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/09/25/py.html>.
Finally this week John Simpson provides us with our monthly dose
of XML Q&A, giving answers to both common and peculiar problems
in processing XML. This month John helps solve a problem
involving unexpected interaction between "implicit" and "explicit"
XSLT rules. Find Q&A at
<http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/09/25/qa.html>.
Thanks for reading.
