Having looked at so much XML I'm beginning to think that it is all going wrong. Many separate groups are developing specific purpose proposals when one properly organised one could do the JOB. Take XML as the syntax take XSL as a display style sheet language then add to these additional functionality for eg.. Forms, Variables, Wireless, Maths, Chemistry etc... What seems to be happening is that the Forms people are re-doing XSL and Xpointer and Xlink and adding new stuff The Maths are re-doing it ie.. every specification is a rework of other specifications instead of an organised addition to the existing specification. Specs are being defined for applications not for function. I predict the Net result will be a confusion and conflicts between specifications if some general order is not restored. In other words - the XML thing is diversifying into lots of little deviants instead of accumulating into one grand specification.
