Yes! It's been a good year. Credit in a blockbuster movie, a growing readership for Flutterby (Thanks, Cameron, I feel like I've gotten a boost from your references), and, now, Philip Greenspun, web god, has quoted me in his new book, Philip and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing in the Learn to Program HTML in 21 Minutes chapter:

It has been four years since I wrote my "Shame and War" paper. Has there been any progress since then? Yes and no. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is being standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Described by Dan Lyke as "the subset of SGML that Microsoft's developers could understand", XML addresses the need for semantic markup but not the requirement that publishers agree on a common set of classes for semantic markup to be useful.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
