Re: [xml-dev] The problems and the future of the web and a formal internet technology proposal

Dear Mr. John Cowan

to all list-users: I am sorry for the delay, there have been many days where I was too weak to answer, since I am battling chronic fatigue syndrome, and have many days where I am non-functionnal; moreover, during the few days where I felt better, I had some pressing issues to handle until a week ago, then I felt bad from monday to thursday and since I felt better afterwards, I prepared the answers for the list on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The idea with the switch to XML is not to allow easier browser development. The idea is to have clean content, properly structured and easy to index and analyze, allowing RDFa for semantic information inclusion, which would vastly improve the adequation of search engine results, at least those search engines not made by companies with the required money to allow them to master the advance artificial inteligence needed to analyze natural language. It also alows data manipulation, generation and verification using standard XML tools such as XSLT / Schematron.

JSON doesn't have all the standardized XML manipulation advantages (such as with XSLT).
