RE: And the DTD says, "I'm NOT dead yet!!"



Citation correction only:  that quoted 
text did not originate from clbullar@ingr.com 
or other addresses axiomatically associated 
with Bullard, Claude L (Len).  It originates 
from an article cited by said named entity. 
(Hey, obsfuscation is fun and profitable!)

Otherwise, the animosity is the procedural 
side effect of misunderstanding the 
SGML Way, purported to mean, complete 
separation of process and data/format 
and content.  It is just another heresy by 
interpreters of the ancient texts. 
Enabling and determining are different means.

/ "Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@ingr.com> was heard to say:
| In other words, elements, attributes and namespaces are here to stay,
| whereas DTDs, entities and PIs are transitional, and are on the way out.

I've never understood the animosity expressed against processing
instructions.
