Well then, dal, I’d say if you already have those critters, you applied markup to 132.
Verb. You selected the tag to mark up the string. That selection limits the space of the transform, that is, the number of rules in which that tag name may be found. Choice of choices or limits on the tree neighbors this tag has by intension. Meaning is deliberate, not probabilistic.
Is a tag (the noun) semantically as rich as markup (the noun)?
len
All done long since. We know HOW to do it; we have our XML vocabulary (supported by all the above and the ontology and the use cases and the ...) in our hot little hands, and the only question is wording/phrasing/terminology.
When
132
Becomes
<invoice-number>132<invoice-number>
what have we done and how did we describe it as we did it?
--dal
(P.S. and if perchance your Remark concerned Balisage instead, all those lovelies are welcome at Balisage: The XML Conference; they just do not necessarily need to be XML-based.)
