A fundemental feature of XML that has not been mentioned is that it allows the design of a custom domain specific language that includes crucial meta data, something HTML is incapable of. Imagine designing a cooking recipe language for example. You could have historical information for your mother's cherished chicken noodle soup. You could include suggestions about what other food or drink would go well together with a specific recipe. And on, and on. You could then make domain specific queries and searches that would yield far more accurate results then the woefull mess that currently exists with HTML based search engines. Hope that helps. Meta is betta, baby. Cheers, Douglass Turner email: turner@redballpro.com
