nThe whole
transfer syntax story just went meta, that's what
happened!
nXML has
been a runaway success, on a much greater scale than its designers
anticipated
äNot
for the reason they had hoped
–Because separation of form from content
is right
äBut for a reason they barely thought
about
–Data must travel the web
nTree
structured documents are a useable transfer syntax for just
about anything
äSo
data-oriented web users think of XML as a transfer
mechanism for their data
