and it's somewhat ironic, when you think about it, isn't it?, that it's so easy -- using ascii -- to "show what it looks like".
And yet it is so difficult to have these ASCII files work for readers. They don't work on my phone or my desktop PC. In fact, if I wasn't one of the few who still has a VT100 terminal, I wouldn't be comfortable at all.
the people who will be doing the work are the volunteers who donate their time and energy to our cyberlibrary, and i am firmly convinced that _they_ can edit my .zml _much_ more easily than they could ever hope to edit your xhtml...
if you want to say otherwise, you'll need a _lot_ of evidence.
Well, to show that more people would rather work in XHTML than ZML, I'd only have to find two XHTML people.
