/ "Mike Plusch" <mplusch@clearmethods.com> was heard to say:
| XML does not have to be verbose in the future.

The verbosity of XML is one of it's strengths.

| It _could_ be suitable for ALL applications.
|
| It is desirable to have a common, standard syntax
| that can be used for ALL purposes.

That's just silly. Nothing is suitable for all purposes. The language
you describe is less suitable for many of the purposes I have in mind
for precisely the reasons that it's more suitable to the purposes you
have in mind.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
