"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.
