It's interesting how arguments come full circle on this list. :) I seem to remember posting something similar to this a month or so ago and I'm sure someone's been posting it every time this argument has ever occurred. I think the exact gist of it was something along the lines of using XML Catalogs + RDDL + a document type PI would solve most of the complaints I'd seen about RDDL. Of course, agreeing on this would require consensus instead of more pointless arguments about semantics and metaphysics. ;) -- THINGS TO DO IF I BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD #34 I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.
