xml-dev - Joel on XML

[Dave Winer <dave@userland.com>]

Please read this essay, written by Joel Spolsky:

"If you go too far up, abstraction-wise, you run out of oxygen. Sometimes smart thinkers just don't know when to stop, and they create these absurd, all-encompassing, high-level pictures of the universe that are all good and fine, but don't actually mean anything at all."

 

This is what I was trying to say to anyone who would listen at WWW9. (And on the Syndication mail list, and everywhere XML comes up.)
