Ultimately, I think it's unlikely that FlexWiki will ever render to anything other than HTML. If it does, it will do so to formats that are isomorphic with HTML (e.g. a subset of XAML). Nonisomorphic formats (Word, PDF, whatever) are pretty unlikely to ever be first-class. So the WOM will basically look like a slightly abstract, annotated subset of XHTML. I still think it's valuable, since like the XML Infoset it gives us an abstract construct to program against rather than knocking into all sorts of lexical issues. That's my guess, anyway. I imagine Vladimir has given it a bit more thought than I have, though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
