Subject: result-tree vocabularies and non-XML serialisation From: "James Tauber" <jtauber@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 3 Mar 1999 08:35:04 +0800 |
I really like being able to specify non-XML serialisation via the result namespace. What I would like to see is people taking existing non-XML formats and developing: a) a namespace URI b) a DTD representing the existing non-XML format c) an output filter to convert documents conforming to the DTD into the non-XML format We already see this with HTML 4.0 in XT (and others XSL engines?) Are people working on others? For example, I would find it useful to be able to maintain the Makefile for XMLSOFTWARE in XML (some of the dependencies are driven by the content of XML documents and I would like to automate the making of the Makefile). The best solution seems to be a) come up with a namespace URI for Makefiles b) develop a DTD for representing Makefiles in XML c) write an output filter to convert documents in this document type into Makefiles Others I would use *right now* include such a tuple for procmail files and for comma separated value (CSV) files. Others I can think of include Windows INI files, Unix mailboxes, your favourite programming language... If people are interested, I will start a new section on SCHEMA.NET for these.
