Hi Folks,

I nominate the below xml-dev postings as two of the all-time great postings.  /Roger

     "Why is text marked up" ?

    One of the great themes of computer science over the last 
    sixty years has been the long-running campaign to move more

    semantics area, and into the "can readily be checked by 
    machine" / syntax area.
