Agree with that analysis. XML itself is pretty close to being raw syntax for data structures. Those structures certainly *can* express programming operations (XSLT being the obvious example but not the only one), but even when that's done the document which describes the operations is generally separate from the document which describes the data to be operated on. Much the same as the separation of program and data files in any other syntax(es). | ||||||
