I really ahte when people equate tools to the evil done by SOME men with these tools.
If you think about it, there are very few tools that cannot be used for evil purposes.
I'm sure that Alexander Grahm Bell isn't sorry he created the telephone just because some people use it to set-up bank jobs and murders!
The problem the US has is that the media has blinded many of us into equating tools and the people who use them.
-Are planes bad just people some nut-cases used them to crash into the WTC?
-Are guns evil because bad people use them?
-Is nuclear power evil because a bomb can be built from similar technology?
-Are SUV's evil because the government has forced other cars to be small, light and inherently unsafe?

Every Windowed Perl programmer's first app will consist of a single window with an multi-line edit field and a button. When you press the button it will parse the test in the edit field and say "Hello World"
It is time for us to do whatever we reasonably can to make it safe.
I am not talking about limiting our already fleating civil liberties, but about learning how to defend ourselves from this kind of threat.
The terrorists that are here do not have scarlet letters denoting who they are. They look like you and me. They are our neighbors and appear to be our friends.
The government can and will ferret these people out and will destroy them.
I, for one, trust our President in these matters. Though I am a staunch Republican, I would have even trusted Clinton under the same circumstances.
They simply have more information available to them.
Working with the Apache XML people was great - at least on the C++ side.
My job needed a good XML parser and Xerces, mostly, fit the bill. But we did need to implement a few things like GetElementByID() and everything pertaining to it.
Xerces was great at getting patches verified and put in as quickly as possible. The mailing lists were also a very good source of info.
It may be different now though, I haven't worked on the project for more than a year. We needed a parser and DOM that wasn't the end-all-be-all and eventually wrote our own.
I get to telecommute all the time:
When I'm on vacation, I get called to fix a problem.
When I'm home sick, I get called to design a new feature.
When I leave work for lunch, something comes up...
I know that we have actually been using SVG for some time on one of our production sites. But we have been looking into other alternatives such as flash generation.
So it's good to finally see that this might become a standard. Now, when will IE and Netscape support it?

It worked for me - though I did have to build a bigger house so that I could excape from my wife to get some work done...
I actually write an Architectural CAD application that uses MesaGL as its 3D rendering engine.
We have looked at using various game systems instead, but nothing so far has compared to the level of detail we get with MesaGL...
Now for non-programmers, MesaGL might be a bit of a problem.
I really like things that work.....
Now there is finally someone who understands the gun issue... On wait, this article is about encryption!
I wish that they would at least require me to sign a contract to listen to a CD. Then I would at least know what I was getting myself into...
I am starting a tax shelter where we will send all of your property into space to keep the fed from taxing it...

Soon we will come up with a plan to let you get it down as well.

I say an emphatic, "NO!"
A fun job is one that gives you the time you need to do fun things.
Most people work on the 40-40 plan: Forty hours a week for forty years. That will never give you the freedom you need to do fund things.
In addition, most people work for money. I must admit that I do as well... But I also work for time:
I am currently running a business that, by my own forcasts, will supercede my $100+/year developer's job within the next year.
Is it a get rich quick scheme? No. Only rock stars get "Money for nothing and your chicks for free."
I work hard now, so that I can cut down that 40-40 plan... If you want to plan for your retirement, contact me.
To live in a cashless society, we need to completely stop using cash.
In that vain, I ask that you all please send me all of your cash and I will make certain that you are never bothered by it again...

Doesn't this defeat the purpose?

I would agree that Doc Book might be a good solution.
I think that the most important thing you can do though is make certain that people do not have to edit XML directly.
Create something that allows them to work without remembering all the tags and brackets and everybody will be happier.
We actually render to both SVG and DXF from a proprietary format... For our CAD Application.
I know that we have actually been using SVG for some time on one of our production sites. But we have been looking into other alternatives such as flash generation.
