The XML concept is dangerously powerful:
XML allows you to make up your own markup scheme
XML doesn't even require you to use a schema
XML elements are light in semantics
one man's
<p>
is another's
<para>
(or is it?)
the appearance of interchangeability may be worse than its absence
But XML is still too good to ignore
mainstream software development
proliferation of tools
the future of the web
How do you go about defining a schema?
