XML: A Two-part promise for the WWW
- XML promised to deliver a markup language for the WWW which would mean
that
- You could design and/or choose your own vocabulary;
- You could mix vocabularies without confusion.
- Beyond the language (including XML Namespaces), two obligations followed
from that promise
- An approach to rendering so you could see your
documents;
- An approach to document structure definition so you could
control your documents.
- First CSS, then XSLT discharged the first obligation.
- XML Schema will discharge the second.
