<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
While in principle anyone is free to use any syntax in a new language, the
|
|
evident advantages from sharing the syntax are so great that new languages
|
|
should where it is not overly damaging in other ways be written in XML. Apart
|
|
from the efficiency of sharing tools, parsers, and understanding, this also
|
|
leverages the work which has been put in to XML in the way of
|
|
internationalization, and extensibility.
