Flutterby™! :

Dan does a 180 on XML... kind of: Yesterday, as Todd and I were walking to the schmooze opportunity in the city we were talking about the Open Source conference, so I pulled up the schedule on the OmniSky enhanced Palm and I got to thinking that if they'd marked up the schedule right I could click a button and have those events imported into my calendar. There's a potential XML application where semantic markup both the publishers and the consumers. We just have to get people thinking about this as a markup language, not simply a data transfer conduit. And we need to build some browsers that can deal with it. Time to dust off the old Hyper! (an HTML browser I wrote in '93) source, port it to C and update it. And writing this was also a reminder that I need to go through all my web pages and remove any I or similar appearance tags.
