  A 2006 blog entry from Tim Bray, co-editor of the original XML specification. If he thinks it's too much of a task for the vast majority of situations to go inventing a new XML application (i.e. language), then this is compelling.

  • UBL ·  If you’re working with invoices and purchase orders and that kind of stuff (and who isn’t?), do not even think of inventing anything. A whole bunch of smart people have put hundreds of person-years into pulling together the basics, and they did a good job, and it’s ready to go today. Look no further.

  • Here’s a radical idea: don’t even think of making your own language until you’re sure that you can’t do the job using one of the Big Five: XHTML, DocBook, ODF, UBL, and Atom.
