Re: [xml-dev] The markup minimalist
Rubbish!
Sorry about that but, for me, an XML document is a, more or less, small database or a hierarchical document. Not just a unique table or a basic CSV file.

The Markup Minimalist Credo
1. Flatter is better. Add structure (markup) to XML only when absolutely necessary.
2. Data exchange formats: make them flat.
3. When sending data to consumers, distribute the data in a flat format.
4. When consumers receive the flat XML they may add structure (markup) to facilitate simpler and more efficient Schematron assertions and/or simpler and more efficient application processing. Different consumers will add different structure (markup), depending on their (local) requirements.
Comments?
