    Memory management in streaming: buffering, lookahead, or none. Which to choose?

    Abstract:
    Although the ideal approach to streaming is to process markup events as soon as they are encountered, with no memory needing to be used for storing parts of the input document, this is not always feasible, and in practice it is useful to consider "near-streaming" approaches that involve a limited amount of buffering or lookahead. In the extreme, however, such approaches degenerate until they are indistinguishable from non-streaming processes. This paper attempts a classification of streaming and near-streaming processing methods using different approaches to memory management, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each.

    Automatic XML Namespaces

    by Liam Quin

    Balisage

    Montreal, Canada

    Relevant technology area: XML Core Technology .

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:
    The XML community has lived with XML namespaces for a decade. They are useful to the point of seeming indispensable, they are ubiquitous, and yet they are at the same time unwieldy and flawed. Namespace declarations can be inconvenient to remember, and errors in them are frequently the source of subtle and hard-to-diagnose errors. From a programming perspective, namespaces provide scope and disambiguation; from a document authoring perspective, namespaces provide headaches. By introducing a single new feature namespace declarations could be simplified and namespace functionality enhanced without losing the existing benefits of namespaces. Let’s talk about making namespace lemonade from namespace lemons.

    Visual Designers: Those XML tools with no angle bracket at all!

    by Mohamed ZERGAOUI

    Balisage

    Montréal, Canada

    Relevant technology areas: XML Core Technology and Web Design and Applications .

    (see abstract)

    Abstract:
    Is the future of XML planned to be without XML? Visual tools are everywhere and XProc might be the first XML dialect to be immediately available with its visual editor. After erratic evolutions, visual tools have become more and more precise (even HTML+CSS tools are now very powerful), and are become more and more main stream. Could we imagine dealing with XML Schema without descent Visual Tools? We will show in this presentation an overview of where we do XML without seeing any angle bracket and the places where we expect to have some equivalent tools soon.
