It is appropriate to ask here what, specifically, of XML you intend to keep (and what, specifically, deprecate) in promulgating a syntactic system that does go--or at least facilitate going--far enough (or will you even define yourselves in syntax?) And where do I petition to keep it
broad, and useful, enough that I can process both the structured data of securities trades and the text of the regulations which govern them both with the same general purpose tools?
