Response to Norman Walsh on Deprecating XML vs. JSON: http://ht.ly/3dNUF #xml #w3c #json #jsonld #javascript /cc @ndw @robinberjon—@manusporny
@manusporny Attempting to post a comment displays "Answer the question" and nothing else, so
apparently I can't post.—@ndw
@ndw Sorry, comments should work now - culprit: mis-behaving anti-spam plugin coupled
w/ WordPress 3.0 upgrade.—@manusporny
@manusporny Oh man, one paragraph into your blog post I already know that I'm going to wipe the
floor with your arse :-D cc @ndw—@robinberjon

@robinberjon What ever happened to a nice, friendly, XML vs. JSON debate? re: http://ht.ly/3dOZo :P /cc @ndw #bringit #esoteric #nerdfight—@manusporny

"I live and breath mixed content. That’s where I think the real valuable information
lives." @ndwhttp://bit.ly/fmHJQx—@AlainCouthures

(JHTML?). http://bit.ly/fmHJQx @ndw—@gimsieke

I hate XML, except when I use Docbook. Then for some reason I really really like it.
Don't know why.—@bphogan

Beginning to think XProc is evil. Working script on Tuesday. Reran the script today
and it failed - no changes.—@harveybetty
@harveybetty Surely that's an inherent evil in computers, nothing to do specifically with poor,
innocent, helpful XProc.—@ndw

Anyone tried using XSLT on RDF? Any handy libraries you can share? #lazylinkeddata—@RichardOfSussex
@RichardOfSussex it's not pretty. Search norman.walsh.name for some observations.—@ndw
@ndw Thanks: interesting. For now, I'm going for simple XSLT on a known, simple RDF app
(dbpedia).—@RichardOfSussex
@RichardOfSussex As long as the serialization is consistent, you'll probably be ok.—@ndw
@ndw Yes, it's very application-specific, unlike your elegantly generic rdfTwig. It's
resolving the dereferenceable URLs that is interesting—@RichardOfSussex

@ndw -- life was so much easier before the evil computer (read not XProc) but much more
boring! Now having Java Heap problems!—@harveybetty
@harveybetty oh, yeah. XML Calabash memory (mis/non)management sucks. V2 will be better. ETA?
