> I'm also not sold on the whole "HTML-style error-recovery" Having used and written a parser for a similar recoverable localization language (https://projectfluent.org/ https://projectfluent.org/) I'm sold on it. It makes a lot of things easier. It's kinda like adding trailing comma to lists. It's both boon when writing lists by hand and generating it via code. > I think DTDs are one of the ugliest things in XML (and also a well-known source of security vulnerabilities), and it is great that XML-SW (unlike XML5) mostly kills them. Hm, that's strange. I'm pretty sure XML5 killed DTD outright, other than having a doctype definition. Perhaps the spec was outdated a bit. XML5 had a few big ideas: - Ending DTD - Unquoted XML attribs <elem atr1=value> - Error recovery / arbitrary nesting which is similar to HTML <a><b></a></b> // Became <a><b></a> <b/>
