So following you, I'll pick some other random targets to poke fun at: SOAP: "the machine efficiency of XML with the readability of N3" Apologies to N3 for that ;) > If it isn't intended for human consumption then it should be > machine-optimized binary. Why not forward this comment to xml-dev? They love talking about the efficiency of XML, binary XML and have multi-month threads about it now and then. So how about protocols for machines such as email, HTTP which are not machine-optimized binary? That was a major reason the Internet and Web won over earlier systems. Such as those built with ASN.1 for "efficiency" although having no "readability". Promoting that is going backwards. Cheers Dave
