Here is the latest proposal:

XNGloss - http://infomesh.net/2001/01/xngloss/.

Which should hopefully represent the most up-to-date XML-DEV creation so far (including the name as suggested by Uche!)... Note also the natty XHTML Modularization going on at http://infomesh.net/2001/01/xngloss/#mod.

This should be a good base specification until Jonathan brings out his next version :-)


[Mon, 01 Jan 2001 15:06:12 +0000]: I thought I'd meld Jonathan and Tim's proposals together somewhat, and I came up with:-

XNCL - http://infomesh.net/xncl/

I'm not great with names, so I just came up with what I thought it was: "XML Namespace Catalogue Language". It uses empty <div> elements in the Link elements to avoid overloading them, and to allow for family derivations. The good this is that it actualy uses proper XHTML m12n (except I haven't written the DTD yet, but when I do you can be sure it'll conform more or less to http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization !)

It's not a full description, you can imagine the rest.

Kindest Regards,
Sean B. Palmer
