Looking at patent abstract [0] it basically patents separation of information and structure. That latter can be used to present information in various ways. My take is that it is fucking obvious and I just simply do not believe that the concept did not have prior art. It just show what a crooked business this whole modern patent system is. [0] - "A system and method for the separate manipulation of the architecture and content of a document, particularly for data representation and transformations. The system, for use by computer software developers, removes dependency on document encoding technology. A map of metacodes found in the document is produced and provided and stored separately from the document. The map indicates the location and addresses of metacodes in the document. The system allows of multiple views of the same content, the ability to work solely on structure and solely on content, storage efficiency of multiple versions and efficiency of operation."
