Walsh & Berjon: XML and HTML Cross-Pollination: A Bridge Too Far? (XMLPrague 2012)
By Norman Walsh (MarkLogic Corporation) and Robin Berjon (Robineko)
W3C created a small Task Force to look at convergence paths between XML and HTML. One of the notions that it discussed was that the two technologies could perhaps not be aligned, but that they could cross-pollinate.
This talk will look at ways for this to happen. Can we use CSS Selectors in XPointer? Can we build something like XSLT using CSS + JavaScript and another syntax? Does HTML actually have some interesting approaches to distributed extensibility? Should SVG be in the HTML namespace and has it suffered from changing its syntax?
