[topicmapmail] XFML

[PeterV]

An announcement: I launched xfml yesterday at http://xfml.org

It is a standard leaning very heavily on some of the concepts of topicmaps, 
that's why I'm posting this to you clever people. The standard is at 
version 0.1, but I hope to get to 1.0 soon-ish.

It's goals are different from topicmaps, but many of the ideas are similar. 
I'm hoping it will be simple yet powerful enough to be adopted within a 
year by weblog software and CMS's. I'm also hoping it will make people 
familiar with some of the concepts behind topicmaps so that technology 
becomes more widely understood.

I'd love to get feedback on the design of the spec. One issue I'm dealing 
with is having info on topics in the same doc as info on occurrences in 
pages: it will mean the resulting xfml doc can become really large quickly. 
But XTM does that as well, so maybe it isn't a problem? Any insights?

Thanks for any feedback on the spec so far,
Peter
