RE: Greek Software and XML

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Open note to the "powers that be" at B-Greek concerning XML.

One of the advantages of XML is that it is searchable. For example, if you
use an XML tag of <ROMANS> in a post, it will be possible to search for it
using a search engine later. It might make your archives more useful.

If you had available an XML text that had tags in it already, and everyone
used it, it might greatly improve reuse of all these posts.

XML involves no special characters so it is browser independent. Anyone who
can view a web page would be able to use it, as long as their browser
recognized XML (which very soon will be everone).

Just some thoughts.

Bill Ross
