RE: [xml-dev] Here's what I've learned over the last several months about workflow, document-based designs, and system design

>I do not think it is possible to XMLize everything as it means that all

standardized in order to be triggered in a declarative way.

It's certainly possible to XMLize everything, though I accept it may not
always be the ideal solution.

>What about somebody who wants to use another data language like JSON in

I think XProc should let the door open to a java written step, providing a
class we could extend in order to write a special 
transformation step.


That's what general-purpose scripting languages like TCL are for. XProc
surely is specifically for XML pipelines?
