Re: [xml-dev] json v. xml

[Richard Salz <rsalz@us.ibm.com>]

At one point the XML community divided itself into two parts: doc-heads 
and data-heads.  I don't see what the former group gets out of JSON. As 
for data-heads, it may well be that JSON is a better fit (80/20) when one 
end of the link is monoculture (more PC to call it a browser on a PC, I 
guess). That environment doesn't describe all the places where XML 
data-heads need to get their data.

I view the JSON vs XML debate as optimizing for an important common case 
and don't see any technical need to raise a ruckus.
