Subject: Re: [xtm-wg] XTM Processing Model - alternative proposal



* Lars Marius Garshol
|
| This approach has been chosen in order to avoid the problem inherent
| in any formalism: that the formalism must first be learned.

* Sam Hunting

| To me, this is like saying that XML would be easier to learn if
| there were no angle brackets.

Is this your only comment?

If so, it is no argument for the current graph models over this
property-based model, since the graph models have no more of a
formalism than does the strawman.
 
| Instead of "throwing the baby out with the bath water," wouldn't it
| be more appropriate to insist that any formalism be easy to learn
| and use?

Maybe. Such an insistence would look strange in the processing model,
however.
