Hi all, I think this peace of XML cleanly demonstrates excessiveness, low human readability and parsing inefficiency: <atom> <property dictRef="gfx:color"> <scalar type="xsd:string">#ff0000</scalar> </property> <property dictRef="cml:radius"> <scalar type="xsd:float" units="units:angstrom">1.2</scalar> </property> </atom>
IMHO, this information could be easily stored as <atom gfx:color="#ff0000" cml:radius="1.2" cml:radius:units="angstrom"/> If I'm wrong, please, explain why. 20.03.10, 09:52, "Egon Willighagen" <[email protected]>: > Hi Sam, > On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 4:09 PM, Sam Adams wrote: > > > > O.co2 > > O=CO > > > I always understood that the dictRef was a deep link... not pointing > to a particular dictionary, but to the matching entry in the > dictionary...
