In the meantime you can see a >little outdated(april 99) version of some of the ideas at: > >http://wwwest.uniandes.edu.co/~l-arcini/xmlablePattern.ps This is a good paper. Toivo Lainevool has also sent me privately an interesting pattern too. Fabio's XMLable pattern is more concerned with using Alexander Patterns for OO program design. Toivo's pattern is more concerned with using Alexander Patterns for DTD design. Liam's patterns are more concerned with using Alexander Patterns for DTD implementation. My book is about design and implementation and not at all about programs. I look forward to Fabio releasing his work: it is important for fitting XML into mainstream OO discourse. But the patterns I would call for are more in the area of what goes on inside a document: apart from the promise of namespace, XML has resulted in no advances in analytical methodologies, as far as I can see. I hope that XML Schemas, Schematron, Express, AT&T's DSD, etc, will provide a base technology which people can use to explore new paradigm. I think the two most useful areas are "patterns/assertion grammars" and "cohesion and coupling analysis"; it is quite probably that the XML Schema language will allow class or inheritence in some form which again will provide a more direct path from a high-level analysis to an implementation.
