Extensibility is not in the language but in the implementations that share language constructs and implementations. That is, instances are extensible. No matter what, someone writes components to support the structures.

Subject: XML Extensibility / XML Schemas Dear all, Have you noticed that when you give XML a DTD, it stops becoming extensible? We seem to forget that XML isn't really a language - it's a meta-language; a means of setting up (sometimes proprietary) new languages. Which all seems to favour some kind of xml+ MIME type for XML applications; to show that these new languages are XML based, but have a DTD. Of course, the saving grace may be XML Schemas; these will allow XML to be 'valid' documents, but ones that are still extensible. Problem: I wonder if it's possible to transform both XSLT & XML Schemas with XSLT? - Probably yes because they are valid XML, but can you imagine the carnage/innovation this could cause... ---> XSLT XSLT <--- Kindest Regards, Sean B.
