XML: Too much of a good thing?

Deja Vu all over again?: I hope this doesn't end up like other "standards" of the past: used by some, abused by others.

If everyone keeps their XML usage open, life will be much better than if certain large corporations try to co-op it as their own.

If they add a bunch of proprietary extensions to their file formats to keep others from using them, then XML will get "forked" up and never live up to it's potential.; Posted by: alterego_z Posted on: 09/07/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
