Again, the lineup for the Balisage conference looks good.
Some of the talks look intriguining. Markup as a nomic game sounds very interesting. Lots about pipelines...
I see that Michael Kay is going to talk about Jacskson Structured Programming and how it relates to XML and XML processing. Yay! Back in 1996 I gave a talk about JSP/JSD and SGML processing at SGML '96. I'm looking forward to reading Michael's paper. Jackson's inversion concept was a stroke of genius and his JSP/JSD work has very much influenced how I think about XML processing.
