Let's see... Future Proof. Program to read and process a text file - anywhere from a few hundred bytes, to a small OS-wannabe like emacs. Program to process LLSD and display it - several hundred K minimum, oh, and *REQUIRED* network connection live so the referenced DTD can be retrieved - more like a program that is ALREADY being considered an OS-replacement, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Safari, or Chrome, each several dozen megabytes. Ok, so let's look at a project that's *GOT* a nice long history already (some 30+ years) and is *VERY* interested in future-proofing. Minor project, really, called Project Gutenberg. Here's what *they* have to say on the subject: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Gutenberg:General_FAQ#G.17._Why_is_Project_Gutenberg_so_set_on_using_Plain_Vanilla_ASCII.3F When you really, really, *REALLY* want it to be readable - ASCII plaintext is the way to go. _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
