[thelist] The future of XML

Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

But doesn't it make sense to future proof what you're
doing now, to reduce the amount of legacy code you'll
have to upgrade when that day arrives?

As long as <p> works everywhere (it does), what's the
problem?

Cheers
Martin

I have the same feeling, but with one major modification: I do not wish to
change the way I code *as long as my way works in the browsers*. If the
browsers, say, stop recognizing <P> and only accept <p>, I'll change my
coding practices, but not before.
