Yesterday, I found an email from Jon Callas where he was giving advice on where SAML falls in the Chomsky hierarchy of languages:
"If it has backwards gotos in any form, it's Turing-complete. Loops, recursion, etc. are backwards gotos. If-then-else is a forward goto."
I hadn't ever thought of things that way, but I thought it was interesting.
