A list of Issues which should be addressed
Research
John Cowan's Balisage 2012 presentation.
John Cowan's Architectural Forms for MicroXML, a proposal for providing simple transformations on MicroXML documents that serve some of the same functions as namespaces, but in a different way.
John Cowan's MicroExamplotron, a reduced form of Eric van der Vlist's Examplotron, a simple schema language which might work well with MicroXML.
Dot-Dot Convention, a simple convention for mapping XML documents with namespaces into MicroXML.
Automatic XML Namespaces, a proposal for using an external description document to add namespace information to a namespace-free XML or MicroXML document, either for internal consumption or to turn it into an XML document with namespaces.
