Write semantics using XML and then come back. [snip] Dude, it's a disjunction. I know you don't like disjunctions, but that's no reason to ignore them. My point is that if you have a presentation syntax, people *will* use it and treat it as a concrete syntax no matter what warnings you put up. Surely your experience with recent comments confirms this. Finally, I don't think writing a semantics using XML (e.g., if one uses RELAX NG's compact syntax) is so bad. I understand you prefer not to, which is fine. But then don't bitch when people want the presentation to be a (readable) concrete syntax. Cheers, Bijan.
