[October, 2006] Tim Berners-Lee: the attempt to get the world toswitch to XML ... didn't work

Hi Folks,

I am reading about the history of HTML5. This blog from Tim Berners-Lee seems to be quite important:

http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/166

Here's something he states in that blog:

    Some things are clearer with hindsight of several years. 
    It is necessary to evolve HTML incrementally. The attempt 
    to get the world to switch to XML, including quotes around 
    attribute values and slashes in empty tags and namespaces 
    all at once didn't work.

/Roger
