RE: [xml-dev] a report on any xml file, what information is useful?

["Len Bullard" <cbullard@hiwaay.net>]

Interesting discussion.

What is the basis for the claim that the reports in your jpgs represent a
'visualization' that fosters comprehension?  Or is there a different
visualization for which you didn't provide an example?

Higher-level XML features such as analytics and differencing are harder 
to implement in editing tools because of the text-centric nature of the 
user interface. This is because the user has to constantly change 
focus/views. For this reason, we implemented our XML tools on a 
visualization core and are able to leverage all of the innovations in 
direct manipulation and object oriented user interface technologies.

As we like to say in describing the importance of XML visualisation and 
XML analytics:

"Visualization fosters comprehension and analytics fosters insight"
