Anyone can define their own XML tags, and define any standard functionality that they believe those tags should cause. The easiest way to do this is to put your own tags into a namespace of your own, like "mynamespace:mytag", where mynamespace is related to your company or the standard you want to create. Then write up the document that indicates what each tag means and how applications should react to them.
If you actually want it to become a real standard, then that's a whole different story. You'd have to either get the backing of some consortium, such as the W3C, or push it yourself until it gets accepted. Either one is probably pretty hard. -------------------------- Dean Roddey The Charmed Quark Controller Charmed Quark Software [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.charmedquark.com "If it don't have a control port, don't buy it!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ravi_Jain" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 9:10 PM Subject: Defining/Assigning meaning to tags ! > Hi All > I want to define(design) some tags for standardisation. > for example as in case of HTML tags .."<br>" is understood as break point > etc.. can anyone let me know if similar functionality is possible with XML > ...so that I can define my tags to understand what to do with its argument. > Thanks in Advance > Regards > Ravi Jain > > > ************************************************************************** > This email (including any attachments) is intended for the sole use of the > intended recipient/s and may contain material that is CONFIDENTIAL AND > PRIVATE COMPANY INFORMATION.
