What and Why SML

"Dave" posted a brief comment about my SML post within 1 minute of posting it.  Wow!

Don Park is working on a new language that does some of what XML does, but is as simple as can be. 

SML is meant to be an alternate meatspace-friendly syntax for XML infoset.  So I am hoping to make it do everything XML does except cause wrinkles and hairloss.  Ambitious?  Nah.  Actually, I was playing with it as a 'front-end' to an XML viewer/editor.  With it, I am less likely to cringe when I open XML files.
