I shall try to be a little more problem oriented: The problem is primarily relevant in the context of CMS applications. It can can be expressed as follows: How can we (1) empower users to generate rich content without being XML/HTML experts while at the same time (2) helping developers to provide high technical quality of the same content? An XML control will provide a well defined interface between CMS applications and web clients/plugins. This will facilitate much more efficient software development on both ends. We will get a win-win- win situation: (1) Developers will be provided with a different kind of WYSIWYG: what you *speicfy* Is what you get. They get to work with data that can easily be accomodated in web pages wihtout compromising standards compliance. (2) Client and plugin developers will have well defined specifications to work against. This will promote competition and lead to better products. (3) Users will get input tools that will match their level of expertice and empower them to express themselves better than before. -- Henrik
