Want to see something cool that's coming soon? Take a gander at XProc - the XML Pipeline Language. It's a way of defining a series of processes that operate on an XML file - for instance, running it through XInclude, schema validation, XSLT and making choices etc. It is great in as much as it's abstracting yet another layer out of the processing systems (SAX, DOM etc.) and their implementations (Java, PHP etc.) - obviously there are problems with that. Norman Walsh says that it's quite likely to be finished early next year. Kurt Cagle of XML.com thinks this is a good thing, and should fit in to the XML+REST ecosystem nicely. 2006-11-25T17:27:09ZUntitled entry permalink

xFolk - just a test of my mini-xFolk script for the OPML Editor. 2006-11-25T14:07:10ZUntitled entry permalink

Digital Spaghetti (one of the commenters on a recent entry) has suggested hMusic - a microformat for music.. Surely, that would be an example of hProduct? 2006-11-25T13:59:43ZUntitled entry permalink

My blog comments now have microformats. Firstly, they contain an as-yet-unrecognised mfComment style of markup. And all of the commentors now have an hCard with their name and URL (and, if you are me, their e-mail too). If you are using Tails Export or equivalent, visit one of my comments pages and you shall find microformats. I think we also need to add a new 'rel' (see XFN) style for "commenter". 2006-11-25T13:52:50ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
