XML FAQs

The XML FAQ is one of those web sites that those who’ve been doing XML for a while tend to for­get about, until asked to explain some piece of XML that causes large volumes of dis­course on xml-dev (such as wheth­er to use ele­ments or attrib­utes). Then it comes in really handy to be able to point people at the care­fully col­lec­ted pearls (in this case, at D. 3 Which should I use in my DTD, attrib­utes or ele­ments?) and even remind your­self of them.

Which is why it’s good that Peter Flynn, who has main­tained the XML FAQ for some years, has revamped the site, and made it easi­er to find what you need (or just to browse, mut­ter­ing “that’s inter­est­ing” to your­self on a reg­u­lar basis as you dis­cov­er some new fact­oid). Thanks!
