  1. Just in time for the festive season by Centurix · · Score: 5, Funny

    This year I'll be sending out christmas cards in XML and then placing a large banner outside my house with the appropriate schema.

    Then with every following year, I'll be sending a stylesheet card which they can apply to the original XML.

    And if they need to locate their names on the card, they can use //recipient[@name='mum']
