>Kendall Grant Clark has published a funny satire
>of the three myths of XML at www.xml.com this week.
>It makes good reading. I wonder how many still
>subscribe to such myths and why. It appears to
>me that the selling of the web, the urge to get
>the publicity and seize the domain before the
>results are ready have as much to do with this
>as any particular quality of XML. On the other
>hand, very large government pipelines of data
>aggregation do exist that would benefit enormously
>from using XML (cheaper and tends toward winnowing
>out duplication). As said in the past, the way of
>markup is as powerful if not more powerful than
>the actual technology but you have to do a lot of
>this to understand the obvious. It is the quality
>of the information domain (enough similarity to
>enable a coherent schema that can be shared) that
>determines if it succeeds. I can write a schema
>for you cat but who will you share that with?
>
>XML isn't magic. It is a computer science. Getting
>people to agree to use the agreements, that's magick.
