I think the point of this is, you'd like to have a random access version of XML. Right now there's no way to say, seek to the next sibling node without reading all the intervening characters. DOM and other higher-level API's hide that fact, but it's still there.
Mr. Badnarik, during your recent visit to Tucson, you are quoted as saying
"
Say you want to protect a salamander that's on my land. Well, get your own piece of land, and put the salamander there."
You imply that an ecological system can be subdivided as finely as property, and furthermore that any part of such an ecology has no intrinsic right of its own.
Do you truly believe that we can prevent further environmental degredation with the view that what you kill on your property has no bearing on what may live on my property? Or do you believe that there is no value in nature beyond that which we define as capable of being owned?
I've been using KDE and X for *years* and had no idea that there were two clipboards... always wondered why Ctrl-V didn't paste what I'd selected with the mouse or middle-mouse-click didn't paste what I'd selected with Ctrl-C. Now I know! Thanks, slashdot.
