XML Cover Pages Clippings

[May 02, 2002] "Clippings" are summaries or excerpts of news items that for one reason or another are abbreviated rather than presented as a feature news story. The monthly collections of "Clippings" supersede the document called "Miscellaneous SGML/XML Links" which has fallen into disrepair, but is badly needed. This genre may take the form of a wiki or blog at some point, TBD.

As a matter of editorial policy, to be modified on-the-fly without warning or notification, information or opinion carried in "Clippings" meets one or more of the following criteria:

  • a brief news item on a topic that deserves to be researched in the future
  • a very provisional, uncooked idea that should be publicized when more mature
  • a significant news item not substantial enough for a complete story
  • potentially interesting and important information that's slightly out of scope
  • a (cited) presentation that's not quite correct politically
  • citation for something so bizarre or preposterous that it defies comment
  • citation for something judged to merit OpEd evaluation and comment
  • news that is designed as untrue (natural candidates occur seasonally at the beginning of April)
  • news overheard in Diagon Alley from a non-Muggle or from a halfling in the Shire of Middle Earth
  • an editorial selection for which no editor in its right mind would want to claim responsibility
