Hi all, Forwarded from issue #41: Do we target humans writing XML directly, or it this spec mean to for other languages (i.e. markdown) to compile to? If "humans" would should aim (IMO) for a consistent spec where attribute names are consistent and not that numerous and there aren't a lot of exceptions on where what elements can be used. If we let something compile to XML we could relax this is bit. Although my experience with using markdown is that a lot of the details carry over to the markdown as well; making it easy to generate an illegal document. /Miek -- Miek Gieben
