XML Namespaces - Spike Milligan style
A. There is nothing at the end of that namespace URI you know.
B. Then I won't dereference it.

Interesting optical trick on a FoneBlog

A good example of a semantic shadow for knowledge representation - FOAF-XML
Simon St. Laurent has implemented a mapping between a simple XML language - tuned to the problem domain - and its more general, but way more abstract RDF representation. This is a very nice example of what I referred to as a 'semantic shadow' in RDF and other monkey wrenches.

No ISSN's for Irish Blogs
I read about ISSN's for weblogs and made a few enquiries. Quoting from the reponse:
Certain categories of on-line publication are also eligible for ISSNs, weblogs, being specifically excluded.
Oh, well.

Sublinking...or something
Dorothea wonders:
"Has any enterprising lit-critter come up with a term yet for what I just did in the last paragraph? Undercutting the literal meaning of the sentence on the page with the links I tied to it? Somebody must have. I see people doing this all over the place; I surely didn’t invent it.)"
Beats me.

Overheard at Extreme Markup (easily the best conference I've never been to) as reported on xmlhack:"Implementability was not a goal of the Schema Working Group."
