Slightly OT...
 
This might be interesting adjunct to the recent (somewhat
theoretical) discussions that have been going here and rdf-ig
surrounding downloading or walking RDF XML schema documents or RDF
triples based on ad-hoc peeking into the URIs or XML namespace
munging. It’s interesting to wonder how one could exploit a network
connected RDF application that works via forward chaining or
condition-action pairs to do bad things if it's not properly
sandboxed. I'm assuming we'll have the processors well before we
have a web of trust.

The notion of treating XML as active content is fascinating (and a
bit scary). I wonder if you could set up a for loop for a DOS via
an XSLT sheet?
