Look! XML is not dead! They're doing XForms demos in Amsterdam. Shall we alert the HTML5 precinct, or let 'em slide?

@mollydotcom @AlainCouthures i'm not sure the #xforms and html5 are really in competition with each other.

@ewg118 @AlainCouthures Ethan, they're not, nor should they be. Different animals! It was a joke, or at least I thought so ;-)
@nickalexdean I'm poking fun at the XML vs. HTML5 cultural wall. Also to show that XML is still used and studied in our current Web App Era.
@nickalexdean That's very interesting - I'd like to know more about why and how it helped you when you have a few.
@nickalexdean Did you learn "rigor" via XML structure, syntax and refined semantics? If I'm understanding you, I share that experience.
