[sword-devel] HELP! Need your feedback on XML Markup Language

[Troy A. Griffitts]

OK,
        Here's a less formal invite to discuss a few topics about XML Markup.

        I think XML stinks for Bible Text Markup!

        XML doesn't allow more than one hierarchy in a document.  Here's an
example of logical XML markup.

<Book NAME="Genesis"><Chapter NUMBER="1"><Verse NUMBER="1">In the
beginning...</Verse>...</Chapter>...</Book>

This is all fine and dandy, but what about <Quote></Quote>, Intro,
Paragraph, Red, Bold, Italic, etc!  Most of these things WILL cross over
the single hierachy limit of XML.

Remember:

<Verse>Text for <Quote>a verse</Verse><Verse>text for the </Quote>next
verse</Verse>

Is INVALID!

        What do you guys think?

                -Troy.
