It appears obvious to all of us that S-expressions are superior to XML. If so, I don't understand why the XML founders, with all their resumes, Ivy league degrees and dot.com millions didn't have enough collective IQ between them to invent a Unicodey Lispy dialect instead. OTOH, it is possible XML is superior in some way that my common regular brain can't see. Maybe we just can't understand the brilliance of XML & the joke's on us? :) chris -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
