XML: What it is Not
Not the answer to all the world's problems
- verbose: not suitable for low-bandwidth environments
- not a particular vocabulary: just a way of defining a vocabulary
- doesn't solve the yours/mine/ours vocabulary problem
- which just masks the even harder yours/mine/ours modeling problem
- all about text or data represented with character strings: no good answers
for binary data
- some folks busily reinventing all the same bad answers using XML as
plumbing
