Now, it appears that someone a lot smarter than I am — no one less than Adam Bosworth — is suggesting exactly the same thing.

If there is to be a more widely used common data format for the Web, the barest minimum I would expect is a means to identify the identifiers of the Web, i.e. URIs. Personally I'd opt for something semantically richer ;-) What exactly does using RSS 2.0 gain you over using an arbitrary XML language?

I'd prefer POX+XLink+xml:id, personally, but to continue the HTML analogy, remember that HTML came first, and the W3C came much later.

If ECMAScript for XML (E4X) starts getting traction, it'll be a slam dunk (and hopefully similar grammars will make it into other favorite languages).
