XML 1.1 Recommendation

XML 1.1 Recommendation 02/10/2004 03:02 AM

W3C finally put its seal of recommendation on XML 1.1 which is going to confuse a lot of people for the years to come.  In essence, it resyncs XML with latest Unicode standard and simplifies aspects of the XML affected by Unicode related changes.  I was one of the folks who called for some of the changes in XML 1.1 (seemingly ages ago), but even I have mixed feelings about the spec.So it's not surprising that the release of XML 1.1 spec upset a lot of folks out there.

My recommendation for XML application developers is to ignore XML 1.1 until support for XML 1.1 in XML parser implementations is near ubiquitous.  I suspect it will take at least two years to approach that level of availability.  When will it be safe to consider dropping XML 1.0 support?  My optimistic answer is at least seven to ten years from now.  More realistic answer is never.

Another reason for not using XML 1.1 now is that next version of XML is likely to arrive before XML 1.1 is widely adopted.  Why?  Because engineers are like blacksmiths without a hobby.

So please don't panic and do ignore XML 1.1 unless:

• you are an XML parser implementor.
• your application requires use of XML 1.1.
• you have a monopoly.

Update:

Read Dare Obasanjo's post XML 1.1: The W3C Gets It Wrong.  I wonder if Jean Paoli has a blog?

W3C RSS 3.0 Recommendation

W3C RSS 3.0 Recommendation 06/05/2004 06:13 PM

Dave suggests that W3C use RSS 2.0 as the basis for their syndicated data activities.  I think W3C should do just that if they really want to do something in the syndicated data space.  I realize that this will lead to another clash between RSS and Atom, this time with a major standard organizations behind each, but conflicts between standard organizations have happened before and will happen again.  I sure hope a third format doesn't enter the picture though.

RSS is a reality that will not fade away for decades regardless of what happens with Atom.  Atom initiative will also not be stopped unless everyone behind it are sent to Mars (I'll go if there is a return ticket).  I tried my best to mate them but the chance of that happening is now zero, so I am now betting on both and will try my best to make sure future extensions to either formats are independent of the container format.

Update:

W3C has obligations to its member companies as well as the public. If both Atom and RSS were bidding for W3C's attention, then discussions over merits of each format has some relevance. Since it appears not, I think it makes sense for RSS to become a W3C standard considering that many of its members are already using RSS and majority of the feeds out there are in RSS.

While this will negate much of the momentum Atom gains through IETF standardization, I am betting on both horses so I don't care which format wins.

Recommendation for Search

Recommendation for Search Interoperability
http://ww w.cio.gov/documents/ICGI/recommendation.html

The U.S. Federal Government should adopt a search service standard to enhance interoperability among networked systems that aid in the discovery of and access to government information. The adopted search service standard should be the ISO 23950 international standard, thereby providing a high degree of interoperability across many communities of practice and types of data and information holdings (see section 5, ISO 23950 Overview , below). This recommendation follows existing law and policies of the U.S. Federal Government, positioning the standard search service as a supplement to other search mechanisms as may be needed for reasons other than broad scale interoperability.
