[ic] writing an XML dtd for IC tag structure
It's too bad IC tags work and look the way they do. It would be nice
if they were of the form '<tag attribute=value ...>'. I say this
because it would be nice to be able to describe IC documents in terms
of an XML dtd. I suspect that would make a good many editors more
happy with IC pages.
I'm not really that XML smart. I don't know if the IC tags could be
adequately expressed in a dtd. I suscpect they could for the most
part.
The main thing would probably be speed. The interchange parser would
have to evaluate the tags more fully than it does now. I mean, now it
only has to look for '[' instead of evaluate every '<tag' to see if
it's an IC tag.
The other thing, of course, is that IC would have to change the
doctype before sending it out to the web client.
