[topicmaps-comment] HyTime Award for Specifications with Secret HiddenPowers

[Robert Barta <rho@bigpond.net.au>]

Hi,

In the last <taglines/> 

   http://xml.com/pub/a/2002/01/02/taglines.html

there is a paragraph about topic maps NOT winning the price in this 
catgory:

HyTime Award for Specifications with Secret Hidden Powers

   This category is also particularly hotly contested. Brave runners
   up, with powers so secret nobody's quite figured them out yet, include
   Dave Winer's OPML (following on the success of XML-RPC, OPML is
   going to be Winer's Big Thing for 2002) and Topic Maps, the
   darling of many a recent markup conference -- they will change the
   world, honest. Changing the world is, in all seriousness, the aim of
   the winner of this category: HumanML. The HumanML project
   intends to bring an end to global misunderstanding by providing
   encoding for "emotions, physical descriptors, proxemics, kinesics,
   haptics, intentions, and attitude". Perhaps they should start by
   enforcing global usage of the <title> tag in HTML
   documents, a hard enough task.
