To have an usable alternate view, it needs a consistent and natural syntactic rules that users can easily deduce at a glance without even a paragraph of explanation; a difficult HCI goal, but certainly worth pursuing. > > What I DON'T WANT to see is this syntax being used to > > exchange or store > > data. > > Can you enforce that constraint? <g> Heh. All I can do is ignore. I find that, as I get older, selection of books, movies, and music attractive to me becomes smaller and smaller because genres, plots, actors, and singers I dislike keeps growing. Oh, well. I never liked it when W3C cronies tried to talk me out of working on Minimal-XML and Common-XML, so I am not about to do the same. My motto is let birds do what they must: fly. Meanwhile, I'll stand here pretending to be a tree and waiting for the birds to return eventually. Gosh, I am poetic today. <g> Best, Don Park Docuverse
