At this point XML is not a bad choice for data encoding. I would like to see the baroque SGML legacy abandonded (in particular eliminate DTDs entirely). XML is not a perfect choice but is is not a bad one and done right can be efficient.
JSON <http://www.json.org> seems like a better fit for the use cases discussed here. You get better data types, retain convenient ASCII notation for unicode characters, and lose lots of XML baggage. draft-crockford-jsonorg-json-04.txt is in the RFC queue, headed for informational status. -- Robert Sayre _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
