All true, Linda. All true, but precisely
how SGML lost the markup hegemony to
the simpler but easily learned tech. If
you've been here long enough, you know I
always railed against the "XML is Easier
Than SGML" posts because it isn't that much
easier when as you say, all the siblings are
accounted for. OTOH, I tried for a decade to
grok everything coming from ISO and it was
very tough to do. This all seems easier and
that is just an illusion or practice making
acceptable.
But pay no attention to me. The bean counters just
visited my office and labeled my node: 666. (True!)
After all these years of denying the obvious
signs, (the goatee, the picture of Samantha
Stevens on my screen, the raging urge to
dominate the world, the markup hidden now
exposed by my once long and now thinning locks),
it turns out that my father in law was right about me.
Guess I'll have to relax into my destiny
and get on with Armageddon. First stop, Redmond!
I need like minded demons to start the fight
with ancient hammers.

There's lots to be said for XML in the proper role, but I must admit, as a
"metal" programmer (and an old one at that), I do place some value on
interface performance and so do my customers.
