And my response was to Jonathan simply trying to state that encoding the stuff in XML doesn't make a difference. I agree with you that there are interoperability issues, but there are also examples in the library world where stuff just works even when XML is involved, and the receiving party can get the data intact.
Actually, it was my first message replying to Mark's message. I didn't mean to imply that Jonathan didn't know what he's talking about. Nor did I mean to imply I'd support embedding HTML in MARC. Only that it wouldn't cause trouble for OAI-PMH etc. provided they handle XML properly.
