David,
>I would hope so otherwise MicroXML will have to stay its own island like JSON. In which case why even bother making it look like XML?
Exactly. Simplify XML, via a profile. "Full, fat XML" is still necessary, and useful. Simplified XML could work where XML itself might not be a good fit. What goes in the profile? The minimum possible. It should be backwards compatible, though, so XQuery and XSLT can work with it.
>I admit I have not kept up with the MicroXML "specs" to know if even <foo:bar/> is valid MicroXML ... let alone to consider
how it would be converted to XDM.
I think that just eliminating <foo:bar/> in favour of <bar/> would work.
>But this latest series of discussions has me interested.
Me too.
