   Re: [xml-dev] [ANN] Candle 0.8 - a new scripting language for XML

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

"XML is only semi-structured with no explicit type information." is a 
feature, not a bug. Removing it makes the data less useful, and the 
format fairly uninteresting. XML would not be where it is today if it 
featured strong data typing.
