Cover Pages: 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
