Good note, Paul.
On the bright side, XML has standardized 3 important things that
needed standardizing:
* Encodings (ascii-based)
* Line Endings (newlines -- at least when they hit the program)
* Markup syntax
Despite its shortcomings, that base level of interchange-standardization
is *allowing* for standardized DTDs so that, one day, we can
actually get where we need to be.
I'm interesting if *any* encoding system would solve the problems
you mention. Possibly and object-based system, rather than a data-
based system?
