Perhaps the ( and > should be interchangable, thus
maintaining the aerodynamics regardless of direction. But, given that XML
is used on spacecraft systems now, should some method of shielding markup
be added to protect against cosmic radiation as messages pass through
space?
Why does everyone parse XML from left to right when you
could do it just as well from right to left?
Michael Kay
Several recent proposals have
noted possibilities for improvement in XML. Notable among these are "XML
Binary Characterization" (http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/NOTE-xbc-characterization-20050331/)
and "REST, SOAP,
Speech Acts and the mustUnderstand model of SOA
communications"
(http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200504/msg00000.html).
Overlooked in this technical
discussion is a paper that Don Box and I posted late last Friday,
"XML Performance Improvements through Interdisciplinary Factor
Assessment and Application". We commend it to your
attention. We are very proud of this research; it is an innovative approach to
XML performance. We would, of course, like to express proper appreciation for
the research directions and approaches implied by many contributors to XML-Dev
over the years, without whom we could not have taken this kind of research to
its present level. It is also timely - or, more exactly, slightly past timely
- in that proper consideration of this would have been most appropriate on the
day it was published.

So far, it has received a
cautiously measured reaction:
