To which tools? XML Infoset tools? XSLT? SAX parsers? All of those things support exposing the contents of comments. Python regexp? Well that's what I used. hTurtle is a working system; it does exactly what it says on the can. You can refute the architectural plan, but it wasn't created as a piece of architecture. You can't refute the engineering, or if you can that'd be much more worthwhile to me since it would probably indicate a bug in my Turtle tools or some other piece of the toolkit that I care about. > Whatever happened to the notion that metadata in comments > is harmful? Went the same way as the notion that QNames in attribute values are harmful, I think. -- Sean B. Palmer, http://inamidst.com/sbp/
