There is still applicability in Mr. Clark’s experiences and musings with the .Net system. I have finally realized [ along with much of the rest of the world] after years of writing custom configuration files for my applications that XML provides much more functionality with much less effort for this purpose. The syntax is quite basic which I settled on for the query configurations. In the beginning the actual text [or name] of the query and type [for which I use the values of store procedure or “Text” versus “SP”] is specified by me and

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has announced the publication of XML Encryption Syntax and Processing and Decryption Transform for XML Signature as W3C Recommendations, signifying a "cross-industry agreement on an XML-based approach for securing XML data in a document. A W3C Recommendation indicates that a specification is stable, contributes to Web interoperability, and has been reviewed by the W3C Membership, who favor its widespread adoption." The Encryption document "specifies a process for encrypting data and representing the result in XML. The

There was a question on Mark Birbeck's mind. Should Xpath feature CSS? "But while some sort of convergence of XPath and CSS selectors may seem an obvious thought to many, the CSS 'language' continues to resist being brought up to date, and instead exists in a strange, murky world, of 'quirkarounds' and 'standards-proprietary' syntax. (As people require the ability to address other parts of the source tree, new selection mechanisms have to be added, but in a way that doesn't affect existing rules -- resulting in 'quirky workarounds', and syntax that is

Despite the fact that Mr. Clark wrote his article in 2004, there is still applicability in his musings and experiences with the .Net system. " After years of writing custom configuration files for my applications, I've finally realized (along with much of the rest of the world) that, for this purpose, XML provides far more functionality with far less effort. The syntax that I settled on for the query configurations is quite basic. Initially, I specify the actual text (or name) of the query and type (for which I use the values of "Text" versus "SP" or

After a number of internal and published requirements documents, the first XForms draft specification was published on April 6, 2000. The title of this document, "Datamodeling Proposal for XForms," gave a strong hint about how undeveloped this initial effort was. In fact, the final versions of the XForms specification bear no resemblance at all to this first attempt. Why was this? At the time the initial XForms Working Draft was under development, another W3C specification called "XML Schema" was gradually progressing through the W3C channels. In

The computing press has found a new savior for the ills that afflict computing and the web: XML. XML is new, it's exciting, and it's got to be good, because the specification for it looks indecipherable. XML's hype level has already drawn fire from some quarters, from those accusing it of 'balkanizing the web' or of increasing the load on an already strained Internet. Most important, many developers are wondering why exactly they need to learn yet another language. XML's set of tools allows developers to create web pages - and much more. XML allows

Update 2004-06-16: On June 16, 2004 the IESG officially announced the formation of the IETF Atom WG: "IETF Forms New Atom Publishing Format and Protocol (atompub) Working Group." See general references in the topic document "Atom Publishing Format and Protocol." Update 2004-05-05: On May 05, 2004 the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) announced the proposal for a new IETF Atom Publishing Format and Protocol Working Group within the IETF Applications Area. See details in the news item "IESG Announces Proposal for IETF Atom Publishing Format

The XML Signature Working Group is a joint Working Group of the IETF and W3C. The chairs are Donald Eastlake 3rd and Joseph Reagle Jr. The goal of this working group "is to develop an XML compliant syntax used for representing the signature of Web resources and portions of protocol messages (anything referencable by a URI) and procedures for computing and verifying such signatures." See the mailing list archives for current/past discussion. [November 11, 2002] W3C Publishes XML-Signature XPath Filter 2.0 as W3C Recommendation. The XML-Signature

W3C Recommendation 12 February 2002: Abstract This document specifies XML digital signature processing rules and syntax. XML Signatures provide integrity, message authentication, andor signer authentication services for data of any type, whether located within the XML that includes the signature or elsewhere. Status of this document This document has been reviewed by W3C Members and other interested parties and has been endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable document and may be used as reference material or cited as a
