Hi, I agree with the subgroup's decision to mandate 'structured English'. That's with my implementers hat on. But YMMV, depending on what one means or is happy by 'structured English'. I'd be fine with Jeremy's work, except it's XSLT ;) More seriously, one has to know/have XSLT to build an RDF parser? I suppose it is good for transforms... > Aaron: > I'd recommend the WG take a different course of action: Use > Jeremy's work as the normative version, and have Dave Beckett > work on an English version for possible inclusion in the Primer. Formal is good; but with accompanying text please. Arguing that existing RDF parsing texts are unacceptable shouldn't imply not having any. Parsing material is best self contained, so please don't smear it across specs. I also observe that XSLT is ultimately defined in 'structured English' as is any machine processable format we're likely to use. It seems we just need to work on the 'structured English' until it's structured enough. So, if Dave's English is difficult to read, we need to help him with it ;) regards, Bill ..
