Re: [xml-dev] XML CMM and ISO9000 compliance? - was A standard approach to glueing together reusableXML fragments in prose?

Umm, reading Knuth got me certain that _assembler_ could be proven and had 
been proven in math, from which languages like Pascal and Fortan and 
Cobol  and C can also be, or rather have been proven, and since Java is 
just C transcendant then I feel that is also shown.

I do not feel that a markup language with patched on logic capacity can be 
mathematically shown to be a programming language at all....

Just my opinion.
