For what it's worth, I don't think this story is particularly related to
XML; but then I don't think that xml-dev is particularly related to XML
either.
I didn't think the John Deare story was obviously off-topic for this
list.
I now know a large fraction of what I need to know about the
technicalities of XML as such. I still read xml-dev because a good
fraction of the people on it have spent a long time thinking carefully
about structured information, and are willing to talk about that through
the prism of XML. Thus 'xml-dev' is, for me, a list about structured
information, not about XML.
(Which is to say: the pointy-bracket-thing has been the least
interesting thing about XML for the last 20 years).
All the best,
Norman
