Urm, can you refresh for someone with hazy knowledge of PSU epistles?

No, Chris just doesn't like XML namespaces. You can still have

namespaces have their place, ZCML is not it ;-)
I think I'm starting to grasp the XML division among Zope developers.
ZConfig schema definitions use a conventional style of XML with deeply
nested elements, text nodes, and no namespaces,
Ah yes, XML as it was intended ;-)
while ZCML uses its own
style with minimal nesting, many attributes, and many namespaces.
What? Insanity ;-)
Many
of us have a strong preference for one style or the other and we're
perplexed that others would actually prefer their crazy style.
*grinz*
I remember that Jim once presented two XML samples and asked which one
was more readable. I preferred many elements over many attributes. He
preferred the opposite. I thought he was crazy, and as I recall, he
thought I was crazy, too. :-)
Me? I think you're both crazy: use .conf format...
Eh... I guess every mailing list ends up battling over style concerns.
The least important issues lead to the biggest battles. After I throw
some quotes and colons at you, you can throw some angle brackets and
ambiguous whitespace at me, then we'll call a truce. :-)
*smiles*
I'm enjoying the discussion and honestly, I'll be happy to go with what
the majority decide...
cheers,
Chris
