pure XML

[meg miranda]

Just to add to the mix.  I'm noticing also that companies, irregardless of tool, customize their XML in some way that makes it become 'unpure'.  

The files that I authored in Epic, that I thought should have been very close to the open source version of XML, where unreadable by the open source compiler.  I had nothing fancy, just a heading, and a couple of paragraphs. 

I find it facinating.  And it feels like there is the potential for some sort of fancy doctoral study on this sort of thing.  How open source/industry standard things become customized and particular to a company or group of people. DocBook vs DITA included. Both are XML, but o, how different they are.

 I was told that the XML output from FrameMaker was not ?pure XML,?...that it
adds some kind of FrameMaker tagging.
