To me its one and the same. To have an usable alternate view, it needs a
consistent and natural syntactic rules that users can easily deduce at a
glance without even a paragraph of explanation; a difficult HCI goal, but
certainly worth pursuing.

Heh. All I can do is ignore. I find that, as I get older, selection of
books, movies, and music attractive to me becomes smaller and smaller
because genres, plots, actors, and singers I dislike keeps growing. Oh,
well.
I never liked it when W3C cronies tried to talk me out of working on
Minimal-XML and Common-XML, so I am not about to do the same. My motto is
let birds do what they must: fly. Meanwhile, I'll stand here pretending to
be a tree and waiting for the birds to return eventually. Gosh, I am poetic
today. <g>
