XML is clearly a non-modifiable, one-way-encrypted way of storing information. Or so seems to think Luis Eduardo Bastías in a newspaper opinion article that really made me laugh last week: http://www.latercera.com/noticia/opinion/correos-de-los-lectores/2012/11/896-492551-9-elecciones-y-voto-electronico.shtml Partial translation, While it is true that infallible systems do no exist, which means that errors and delays are unavoidable, they can be drastically reduced if we simplify and automatize our election processes by the way of the electronic vote. For that, it is advisable that each individual vote is stored as a XML file, to fully satisfy the requirements established in D.S. No. 81 dated in 2004 and its modifications. This way we will guarantee that each vote will be stored in its original format, corresponding to an electronic document, and among other things will be ready for review when needed. Did I say that the author signs as informatic civil engineer? He clearly knows how to build XML structures in cement. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-curiosa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
