Re: Why can't list digest be in xml format?

[Duane Nickull <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dude:

Your idea really stoked me.  I'm gonna write a dtd and template for this
application.  After all, if we can't get amped up about XML enough to
impliment it here, why are we here.

This will save so much time with all these people writing to the group
asking, "Where can I view some real XML documents" and "How do you sort
data in XSL". 

Let's try something like this for the xml archives of this newsgroup:

<?xml version="1.0">
<newsgroup>
  <title>XSL newsgroup from Mulberry Tech</title>
  <date>03/25/1999</date>
  <subject>Why don't we use this XML format for our Newsgroup
Archives</subject>
  <!--the numeric value beside the reply will be 0 for original message,
1 for reply, 2 for reply to a reply etc-->
  <message reply="0">I think we should use this sml template and put all
our message into this.  We will all learn off of this and it will be a
shining example for all to see.  Does anyone have any comments about
this.  What about the list owner.  Can you give us webspace?
  </message>
</newsgroup>

Who wants to comment on this one!!!!  Who wants to contribute to the XSL
for this???
