XML Hackery
December 24th, 2005
I’ve been doing quite a bit of XML over the past month and learning a number of things that are, perhaps, too arcane to ever be useful. Not to say that XML isn’t powerful, because it can be an extremely good tool in the right circumstances. Take, for example, XSLT, a markup for describing how to turn some XML into differently arranged XML, which seems quite benign and useful. Maybe its just my paranoia, but does it have to be Turing complete? Will XML become self-aware and take over the world?
Will we be able to type </skynet> ?
