xml-dev : Public identifiers and topic maps
"What namespace does the name "Lake Geneva" exist in? Who owns that namespace? If, for Joe Author, Lake Geneva (the lake itself, not just its name) is a topic, how should Joe Author refer to it? (In fact, the Lake Geneva example points up another interesting aspect of the problem. In France, the very same lake is called "Lac Leman". Two names, one lake.) Joe Author needs to point at the Lake itself as a topic, and he needs to do it in a way that will be maximally useful to unknown others for figuring out what it is that he's regarding as this topic. Nobody is ever going to "resolve" this pointer; if somehow they did resolve the pointer, a flood of living water would come pouring out of the CRT, or the user would be teleported into the lake and be drowned. That's not what we're trying to accomplish here."

and pastes it into the content field."
Petr Cimprich : "I'm playing with an idea of a streaming transformation language.
I don't mean things like forward-only streamable subsets of XSLT or building subtrees on request only, but an alternative language designed for streaming transformations. From a bit different point of view, it would be a language to define SAX filters."
The 24 Hour Plays
"The process begins at 10pm the night before the show, when a group of about fifty writers, directors, actors and designers gather at a theater for the latest round of what has become a highly anticipated ritual. After everyone has been briefed (and Polaroided), the writers are left alone to each compose a ten-minute play. At 7am, the directors return, read the plays, make their bids, and begin casting. The actors arrive at 8am, meet with their respective writer/director teams; rehearsals start promptly at 9am. Tech rehearsal runs from 5 to 7:30pm - doors open at 7:45. At 8pm, ink barely dry, the new plays are performed for a live audience."
