   RE: [xml-dev] XML Performance Improvements through Interdisciplinary Fac

Perhaps the ( and > should be interchangable, thus maintaining the aerodynamics regardless of direction.  But, given that XML is used on spacecraft systems now, should some method of shielding markup be added to protect against cosmic radiation as messages pass through space?

Why does everyone parse XML from left to right when you could do it just as well from right to left?

Subject: [xml-dev] XML Performance Improvements through Interdisciplinary Factor Assessment and Application

Several recent proposals have noted possibilities for improvement in XML.  Notable among these are "XML Binary Characterization" (http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/NOTE-xbc-characterization-20050331/) and "REST, SOAP, Speech Acts and the mustUnderstand model of SOA communications" (http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200504/msg00000.html).

 

Overlooked in this technical discussion is a paper that Don Box and I posted late last Friday, "XML Performance Improvements through Interdisciplinary Factor Assessment and Application".  We commend it to your attention. We are very proud of this research; it is an innovative approach to XML performance. We would, of course, like to express proper appreciation for the research directions and approaches implied by many contributors to XML-Dev over the years, without whom we could not have taken this kind of research to its present level. It is also timely - or, more exactly, slightly past timely - in that proper consideration of this would have been most appropriate on the day it was published.

So far, it has received a cautiously measured reaction:
