Reason 3: Leverage from the XML framework

• The XML framework: much more than document markup

• Formatting languages

  • XSL/FO, XSLT, CSS

• Pointer, hypertext, extraction and query languages

  • e.g. Xpointer, Xlink, Xpath, XQL
  • With these we can build real hypertext + composite documents

• Multimedia languages

  • SMIL, MathML, X3D
  • vendor independent symbolic formats will guarantee long life

• Futer Web contents will gain in power with XML .... when and how do we participate ?
