  0. TOPIC GUIDELINES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     xml-doc is for discussion of XML/SGML and document authoring,
     particularly authoring of documentation for computer software
     and hardware. Topics for which list members have a specific
     interest include:

       * XML editing applications
       * Single-sourcing for multiple audiences/delivery formats
       * XML-based content management systems
       * DocBook and other document-oriented markup vocabularies
       * Converting legacy documents
       * Organizational strategies for structured authoring
       * Document analysis and markup model design/refinement
       * Transitioning from older (e.g. FrameMaker) environments
       * Publishing (transforming and delivering XML content)

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
     to the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

     To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
     choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.

  2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
     e-mail it to:

       xml-doc@yahoogroups.com

     To post a message via the Web, visit:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/post/xml-doc/

     By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
     all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
     author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
     e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.

     Here are a few general tips for posting and replying to
     messages delivered to online mailing lists:

     a. Use meaningful subject lines.

        Try not to use generic, uninformative subject lines such as
        "Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
        Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
        make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.

     b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.

        When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
        entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
        quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
        quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.

     c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.

        Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
        subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
        non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
        colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
        a higher degree of international readability.

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     All messages posted to the list are simultaneously posted to
     xml-doc website and are immediately available at:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/messages/xml-doc/

     All messages are also automatically archived. To search
     the archive, use the search box on the message page. To browse
     the archive by month, visit the xml-doc main page:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

  4. UNSUBSCRIBING, RECEIVING DIGESTS, AND PUTTING MAIL ON HOLD
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing a message to

       xml-doc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

     To specify that you want to receive a digest of messages once
     a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are
     posted, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-digest@yahoogroups.com

     To remain a list member, but receive no mail (for example, if
     you plan to read messages by accessing the archive at the
     xml-doc Web site or if you want to stop your xml-doc e-mail
     while you are on a vacation), send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-nomail@yahoogroups.com

     To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
     "normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com

     You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
     Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/

  5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
     before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
     or receive attachments via the list.

     If you have a file you would like to make available to the
     other members of the list, upload it directly to the file
     sharing area of the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/files/xml-doc/

     All interested members can then access or download the file at
     their convenience.

  6. RECEIVING FURTHER HELP
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     If you have questions about the list itself and need to have
     them answered by a real person, send them to:

       xml-doc-owner@yahoogroups.com

  Regards,

  Michael Smith
  xml-doc moderator and list owner

..................................................................

  A. PRIVACY POLICY
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
     addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
     any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
     third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
     has a separate privacy policy:

       http://privacy.yahoo.com/

     Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
     you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.

  B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
     directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
     messages that are inappropriate on the list include:

     * Product or service announcements that have an excessive
       amount of unobjective marketing hype

     * Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
       computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
       domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
       xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer

     You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
     which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
     with other things.

       http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/

  C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
     list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
     and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
     the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
     that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
     might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
     topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
     personally believe the particular topic drift to be.

     [0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html

     xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
     from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].

     [1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
     [2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
     [3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html

     To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
     avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
     strategy is simply to ignore them).

  D. CHANGELOG
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

XMLmind is happy to announce the version 4.6 of XMLmind XML Editor.
     _____________________________________________

Release of XMLmind XML Editor v4.6 (May 31, 2010)

Highlights:

The new Link tool has been designed to allow quickly
creating navigation links (e.g. DITA xref and link
elements).

While very convenient to use when editing a monolithic
document, the Link tool really shines when it comes to
creating navigation links in the context of a modular
document (modular DocBook book, DITA map or bookmap, etc).

========================================================

This year's Balisage has a "contest" courtesy of Mark Logic,
that calls for a "big thinker" rather than a detail squirrel.
The prizes are good and the challenge is real.

Wiki authoring is real authoring too, or is it?

Balisage 2010 Contest - Solve the Modern Tower of Babel

As part of the Balisage 2010 Conference, MarkLogic has put forth a
challenge in the form of a contest. The goal of the contest is to
encourage markup experts to review and to research the current state
of wiki markup languages and to generate a proposal that serves to
de-babelize the current state of affairs for the long haul.

Wikis: tower-of-babel Solve the modern tower of babel

Contest Description: In the past few decades, as a planet, we've
succeeded tremendously in standardizing a number of technologies (yay
us!). Wiki technology (other than its underlying use of web
technologies as a platform) is not solidly in this list. There is a
lot of content available today in a variety of wiki syntaces. This
syntax is not standardized. Some argue it shouldn't be. Go beyond the
existing debates, diatribes, and arguments. Put us on a practical
track to fixing this and ensuring we will have access to this content
for the long haul.

To enter, you must propose a set of concrete steps (organizational,
social, and/or technological) that will enable wiki content
interchange, a real WYSIWYG editor, and/or wiki syntax
standardization.

Entries will be evaluated based on criteria that includes:

      * How well does the entry understand the current state of the art?
      * How well does the entry identify key stake holders and actors
        (including history, motivation, and so on)
      * Is the entry clear on its objectives? (The summary allows for
        some variance here).
      * Is the approach/vision elegant, clever, or mind-changing?
      * Are the set of steps actionable and implementable?

Guidelines, rules, and prize:

     1. Please no more than 10000 words.
     2. Entries should be submitted by July 15th to:
          balisage-2010-contest at marklogic dot com
     3. Author(s) retains copyright and grants MarkLogic a non-exclusive
          license to publish the winning entry.
     4. The winner will be announced on August 3rd at the conference and
          will take home a choice of
            * Apple 15" (i5) MacBook Pro
            * Apple MacBook Air or
            * USD $2000
     5. The winner will be strongly encouraged (but not required) to give a
          brief summary (~10 minutes) of their winning entry at the conference
          on August 3rd.
     6. Employees of MarkLogic are not eligible.
     7. Judges decision is final.
     8. Contest-related questions may also be submitted to:
          balisage-2010-contest at marklogic dot com.

Don't forget the part where Mark Logic starts constantly sending you unsolicited
email (aka spam) about whatever.

Remember, if you don't ask to be put on a list, it's not opt-in.

This year's Balisage has a "contest" courtesy of Mark Logic,
that calls for a "big thinker" rather than a detail squirrel.
The prizes are good and the challenge is real.

Wiki authoring is real authoring too, or is it?

Subject: [ANN] Qizx 4.0 released
xmlmind
Send Email Send Email
 
Qizx is an embeddable, high-speed, native XML
indexing and query engine written in Java(TM),
with the querying and processing capabilities of
a fully fledged XML Query implementation.


===  What is new in version 4.0:  ===

* Qizx Server is a ready to use server module
    allowing remote clients to execute queries
    and retrieve results through simple HTTP
    REST-style protocols:

    - API service provides the main capabilities of
      the Qizx engine. Clients send their own queries.

    - XQuery Services is a mechanism for calling
      stored queries and passing parameters.
      It can implement a business logic middle tier
      or lightweight Web Services-like applications.

* Partial support of XQuery Scripting.

* Qizx now requires Java 5 or above.

Please visit http://www.xmlmind.com/qizx/changes.html
for more information.


Qizx is available in several editions:

* The commercial product has 3 liberal licenses
    both for corporate application development, and
    for royalty-free distributable products.

* The Free Engine edition is a fully functional
    version of Qizx which can be used for developing
    or in production.  It is limited in database
    size (one gigabyte of XML approximately).

* Qizx/open is an open-source version of the XML
    Query interpreter of Qizx.  Qizx/open has been
    available since 2003 and is recognized as one
    of the most advanced and fastest XML Query
    implementations.


Please visit http://www.xmlmind.com/qizx/ for more
information about Qizx.

---------------------------------------------

Free Engine can be downloaded from
http://www.xmlmind.com/qizx/download.shtml

Qizx/open can be downloaded from

  0. TOPIC GUIDELINES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     xml-doc is for discussion of XML/SGML and document authoring,
     particularly authoring of documentation for computer software
     and hardware. Topics for which list members have a specific
     interest include:

       * XML editing applications
       * Single-sourcing for multiple audiences/delivery formats
       * XML-based content management systems
       * DocBook and other document-oriented markup vocabularies
       * Converting legacy documents
       * Organizational strategies for structured authoring
       * Document analysis and markup model design/refinement
       * Transitioning from older (e.g. FrameMaker) environments
       * Publishing (transforming and delivering XML content)

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
     to the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

     To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
     choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.

  2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
     e-mail it to:

       xml-doc@yahoogroups.com

     To post a message via the Web, visit:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/post/xml-doc/

     By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
     all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
     author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
     e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.

     Here are a few general tips for posting and replying to
     messages delivered to online mailing lists:

     a. Use meaningful subject lines.

        Try not to use generic, uninformative subject lines such as
        "Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
        Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
        make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.

     b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.

        When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
        entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
        quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
        quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.

     c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.

        Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
        subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
        non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
        colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
        a higher degree of international readability.

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     All messages posted to the list are simultaneously posted to
     xml-doc website and are immediately available at:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/messages/xml-doc/

     All messages are also automatically archived. To search
     the archive, use the search box on the message page. To browse
     the archive by month, visit the xml-doc main page:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

  4. UNSUBSCRIBING, RECEIVING DIGESTS, AND PUTTING MAIL ON HOLD
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing a message to

       xml-doc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

     To specify that you want to receive a digest of messages once
     a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are
     posted, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-digest@yahoogroups.com

     To remain a list member, but receive no mail (for example, if
     you plan to read messages by accessing the archive at the
     xml-doc Web site or if you want to stop your xml-doc e-mail
     while you are on a vacation), send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-nomail@yahoogroups.com

     To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
     "normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com

     You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
     Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/

  5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
     before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
     or receive attachments via the list.

     If you have a file you would like to make available to the
     other members of the list, upload it directly to the file
     sharing area of the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/files/xml-doc/

     All interested members can then access or download the file at
     their convenience.

  6. RECEIVING FURTHER HELP
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     If you have questions about the list itself and need to have
     them answered by a real person, send them to:

       xml-doc-owner@yahoogroups.com

  Regards,

  Michael Smith
  xml-doc moderator and list owner

..................................................................

  A. PRIVACY POLICY
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
     addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
     any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
     third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
     has a separate privacy policy:

       http://privacy.yahoo.com/

     Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
     you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.

  B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
     directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
     messages that are inappropriate on the list include:

     * Product or service announcements that have an excessive
       amount of unobjective marketing hype

     * Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
       computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
       domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
       xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer

     You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
     which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
     with other things.

       http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/

  C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
     list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
     and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
     the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
     that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
     might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
     topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
     personally believe the particular topic drift to be.

     [0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html

     xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
     from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].

     [1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
     [2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
     [3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html

     To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
     avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
     strategy is simply to ignore them).

  D. CHANGELOG
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

        "Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
        Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
        make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.

     b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.

        When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
        entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
        quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
        quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.

     c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.

        Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
        subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
        non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
        colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
        a higher degree of international readability.

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     All messages posted to the list are simultaneously posted to
     xml-doc website and are immediately available at:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/messages/xml-doc/

     All messages are also automatically archived. To search
     the archive, use the search box on the message page. To browse
     the archive by month, visit the xml-doc main page:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

  4. UNSUBSCRIBING, RECEIVING DIGESTS, AND PUTTING MAIL ON HOLD
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing a message to

       xml-doc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

     To specify that you want to receive a digest of messages once
     a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are
     posted, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-digest@yahoogroups.com

     To remain a list member, but receive no mail (for example, if
     you plan to read messages by accessing the archive at the
     xml-doc Web site or if you want to stop your xml-doc e-mail
     while you are on a vacation), send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-nomail@yahoogroups.com

     To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
     "normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com

     You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
     Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/

  5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
     before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
     or receive attachments via the list.

     If you have a file you would like to make available to the
     other members of the list, upload it directly to the file
     sharing area of the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/files/xml-doc/

     All interested members can then access or download the file at
     their convenience.

  6. RECEIVING FURTHER HELP
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     If you have questions about the list itself and need to have
     them answered by a real person, send them to:

       xml-doc-owner@yahoogroups.com

  Regards,

  Michael Smith
  xml-doc moderator and list owner

..................................................................

  A. PRIVACY POLICY
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
     addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
     any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
     third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
     has a separate privacy policy:

       http://privacy.yahoo.com/

     Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
     you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.

  B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
     directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
     messages that are inappropriate on the list include:

     * Product or service announcements that have an excessive
       amount of unobjective marketing hype

     * Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
       computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
       domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
       xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer

     You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
     which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
     with other things.

       http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/

  C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
     list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
     and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
     the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
     that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
     might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
     topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
     personally believe the particular topic drift to be.

     [0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html

     xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
     from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].

     [1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
     [2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
     [3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html

     To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
     avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
     strategy is simply to ignore them).

  D. CHANGELOG
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

     2003-06-02  <smith@...>

       * updated jargon-file URLs

     2003-05-02  <smith@...>

       * formatting tweak

       * changed vim foldlevel

       * minor reformatting

       * added section about topic drift, trolls, and flames (in another place)

       * added section about topic drift, trolls, and flames

     2002-07-02  <smith@...>

       * changed 'DocBook and other DTDs' to 'DocBook and other markup
vocabularies'

       * changed 'DTD creation' to 'markup model design'

     2002-04-24  <smith@...>

       * removed spam warnings

       * expanded tabs

       * added more no-spam warnings

  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     xml-doc is for discussion of XML/SGML and document authoring,
     particularly authoring of documentation for computer software
     and hardware. Topics for which list members have a specific
     interest include:

       * XML editing applications
       * Single-sourcing for multiple audiences/delivery formats
       * XML-based content management systems
       * DocBook and other document-oriented markup vocabularies
       * Converting legacy documents
       * Organizational strategies for structured authoring
       * Document analysis and markup model design/refinement
       * Transitioning from older (e.g. FrameMaker) environments
       * Publishing (transforming and delivering XML content)

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
     to the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

     To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
     choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.

  2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
     e-mail it to:

       xml-doc@yahoogroups.com

     To post a message via the Web, visit:

     By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
     all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
     author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
     e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.

     To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
     "normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com

     You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
     Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/

  5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
     before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
     or receive attachments via the list.

     If you have a file you would like to make available to the
     other members of the list, upload it directly to the file
     sharing area of the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/files/xml-doc/

     All interested members can then access or download the file at
     their convenience.

  6. RECEIVING FURTHER HELP
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     If you have questions about the list itself and need to have
     them answered by a real person, send them to:

       xml-doc-owner@yahoogroups.com

  Regards,

  Michael Smith
  xml-doc moderator and list owner

..................................................................

  A. PRIVACY POLICY
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
     addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
     any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
     third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
     has a separate privacy policy:

       http://privacy.yahoo.com/

     Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
     you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.

  B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
     directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
     messages that are inappropriate on the list include:

     * Product or service announcements that have an excessive
       amount of unobjective marketing hype

     * Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
       computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
       domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
       xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer

     You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
     which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
     with other things.

       http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/

  C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
     list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
     and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
     the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
     that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
     might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
     topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
     personally believe the particular topic drift to be.

     [0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html

     xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
     from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].

     [1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
     [2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
     [3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html

     To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
     avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
     strategy is simply to ignore them).

  D. CHANGELOG
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

     2003-06-02  <smith@...>

       * updated jargon-file URLs

     2003-05-02  <smith@...>

Subject: [ANN] Qizx 4.1 released
xmlmind
Send Email Send Email
 
Qizx is an embeddable, high-speed, native XML
indexing and query engine written in Java(TM),
with the querying and processing capabilities of
a fully fledged XML Query implementation.

---------------------------------------------

What is new in version 4.1:

* Qizx Server can now be installed in a few clicks
      thanks to a control tool that supports https, user
      accounts, handling of Windows services and firewall.
      This tool uses a bundled Jetty 7 server.

* Support of more XQuery 1.1 features: function items
      (functions as objects), switch, standard try/catch,
      trigonometric functions.

* Support of non-XML documents: any kind of text or
      binary data can be stored in Qizx databases in a
      new type of document.
      Metadata properties can be set on non-XML documents
      and queried in the same way as for XML documents.

* Scalability improvements: Qizx 4.1 has been tested
      on very large databases (> 100 million documents) and
      optimized.
      A new "XL" build allows storing very large XML
      documents (over 2 Gb and up to 1000 Gb).

Please visit http://www.xmlmind.com/qizx/changes.html
for more details.

--

Qizx is available in several editions:

* The commercial product has 3 liberal licenses
      both for corporate application development, and
      for royalty-free distributable products.

* The Free Engine edition is a fully functional
      version of Qizx which can be used for developing
      or in production.  It is limited in database
      size (one Gigabyte of XML approximately).

* Qizx/open is an open-source version of the XML
      Query interpreter of Qizx.  Qizx/open has been
      available since 2003 and is recognized as one
      of the fastest and most advanced XML Query
      implementations.

Qizx Free Engine can be downloaded from
http://www.xmlmind.com/qizx/download.shtml

Qizx/open can be downloaded from

  0. TOPIC GUIDELINES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     xml-doc is for discussion of XML/SGML and document authoring,
     particularly authoring of documentation for computer software
     and hardware. Topics for which list members have a specific
     interest include:

       * XML editing applications
       * Single-sourcing for multiple audiences/delivery formats
       * XML-based content management systems
       * DocBook and other document-oriented markup vocabularies
       * Converting legacy documents
       * Organizational strategies for structured authoring
       * Document analysis and markup model design/refinement
       * Transitioning from older (e.g. FrameMaker) environments
       * Publishing (transforming and delivering XML content)

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
     to the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

     To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
     choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.

  2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
     e-mail it to:

       xml-doc@yahoogroups.com

     To post a message via the Web, visit:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/post/xml-doc/

     By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
     all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
     author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
     e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.

     Here are a few general tips for posting and replying to
     messages delivered to online mailing lists:

     a. Use meaningful subject lines.

        Try not to use generic, uninformative subject lines such as
        "Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
        Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
        make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.

     b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.

        When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
        entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
        quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
        quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.

     c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.

        Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
        subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
        non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
        colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
        a higher degree of international readability.

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     All messages posted to the list are simultaneously posted to
     xml-doc website and are immediately available at:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/messages/xml-doc/

     All messages are also automatically archived. To search
     the archive, use the search box on the message page. To browse
     the archive by month, visit the xml-doc main page:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

  4. UNSUBSCRIBING, RECEIVING DIGESTS, AND PUTTING MAIL ON HOLD
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing a message to

       xml-doc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

     To specify that you want to receive a digest of messages once
     a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are
     posted, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-digest@yahoogroups.com

     To remain a list member, but receive no mail (for example, if
     you plan to read messages by accessing the archive at the
     xml-doc Web site or if you want to stop your xml-doc e-mail
     while you are on a vacation), send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-nomail@yahoogroups.com

     To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
     "normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com

     You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
     Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/

  5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
     before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
     or receive attachments via the list.

     If you have a file you would like to make available to the
     other members of the list, upload it directly to the file
     sharing area of the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/files/xml-doc/

     All interested members can then access or download the file at
     their convenience.

  6. RECEIVING FURTHER HELP

     If you have questions about the list itself and need to have
     them answered by a real person, send them to:

       xml-doc-owner@yahoogroups.com

  6. RECEIVING FURTHER HELP
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     If you have questions about the list itself and need to have
     them answered by a real person, send them to:

..................................................................

  A. PRIVACY POLICY
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
     addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
     any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
     third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
     has a separate privacy policy:

       http://privacy.yahoo.com/

     Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
     you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.

  B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
     directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
     messages that are inappropriate on the list include:

     * Product or service announcements that have an excessive
       amount of unobjective marketing hype

     * Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
       computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
       domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
       xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer

     You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
     which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
     with other things.

       http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/

  C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
     list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
     and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
     the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
     that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
     might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
     topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
     personally believe the particular topic drift to be.

     [0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html

     xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
     from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].

     [1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
     [2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
     [3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html

     To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
     avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
     strategy is simply to ignore them).

  0. TOPIC GUIDELINES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     xml-doc is for discussion of XML/SGML and document authoring,
     particularly authoring of documentation for computer software
     and hardware. Topics for which list members have a specific
     interest include:

       * XML editing applications
       * Single-sourcing for multiple audiences/delivery formats
       * XML-based content management systems
       * DocBook and other document-oriented markup vocabularies
       * Converting legacy documents
       * Organizational strategies for structured authoring
       * Document analysis and markup model design/refinement
       * Transitioning from older (e.g. FrameMaker) environments
       * Publishing (transforming and delivering XML content)

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
     to the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

     To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
     choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.

  2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
     e-mail it to:

       xml-doc@yahoogroups.com

     To post a message via the Web, visit:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/post/xml-doc/

     By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
     all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
     author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
     e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.

     Here are a few general tips for posting and replying to
     messages delivered to online mailing lists:

     a. Use meaningful subject lines.

        Try not to use generic, uninformative subject lines such as
        "Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
        Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
        make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.

     b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.

        When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
        entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
        quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
        quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.

     c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.

        Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
        subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
        non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
        colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
        a higher degree of international readability.

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     All messages posted to the list are simultaneously posted to
     xml-doc website and are immediately available at:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/messages/xml-doc/

     All messages are also automatically archived. To search
     the archive, use the search box on the message page. To browse
     the archive by month, visit the xml-doc main page:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

  4. UNSUBSCRIBING, RECEIVING DIGESTS, AND PUTTING MAIL ON HOLD
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing a message to

       xml-doc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

     To specify that you want to receive a digest of messages once
     a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are
     posted, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-digest@yahoogroups.com

     To remain a list member, but receive no mail (for example, if
     you plan to read messages by accessing the archive at the
     xml-doc Web site or if you want to stop your xml-doc e-mail
     while you are on a vacation), send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-nomail@yahoogroups.com

     To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
     "normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com

     You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
     Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/

  5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
     before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
     or receive attachments via the list.

     If you have a file you would like to make available to the
     other members of the list, upload it directly to the file
     sharing area of the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/files/xml-doc/

     All interested members can then access or download the file at
     their convenience.

-----------------------------------------------
XMLmind DITA Converter v2.0 (December 29, 2010)
-----------------------------------------------

XMLmind DITA Converter (ditac) has now extensive support for the DITA
1.2 standard.

Ditac 2.0 has less limitations and less specificities than ditac 1.x. It
is also more conforming to the DITA 1.2 standard than ditac 1.x was to
the DITA 1.1 standard.

All in all, even if you do not intend to use any of the DITA 1.2
features in your documents, upgrading to ditac 2.0 is strongly
recommended. And if you gave up the idea of using ditac 1.x because of
its limitations and specificities, then may be you should give ditac 2.0
a try.

We plan to integrate XMLmind DITA Converter v2.0 in the following
products: XMLmind XSL Utility, XMLmind XSL Server, and XMLmind XML
Editor Professional Edition within a couple of weeks.
-----------------------------------------------

More info in http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/changes.html

Please download XMLmind DITA Converter v2.0 from
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/download.shtml

-------------------------------
What is XMLmind DITA Converter?
-------------------------------

XMLmind DITA Converter (ditac for short) is an open source,
industrial-strength, DITA processor. It is meant to be an alternative to
the DITA Open Toolkit.

Ditac allows to convert the most complex DITA 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2 documents
to production-quality XHTML 1.0, XHTML 1.1, HTML 4.1, Java[tm] Help,
HTML Help, Eclipse Help, EPUB, PDF, PostScript®, RTF (can be opened in
Word 2000+), WordprocessingML (can be opened in Word 2003+), Office Open
XML (.docx, can be opened in Word 2007+), OpenOffice (.odt, can be
opened in OpenOffice.org 2+).

  A. PRIVACY POLICY
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
     addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
     any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
     third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
     has a separate privacy policy:

       http://privacy.yahoo.com/

     Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
     you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.

  B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
     directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
     messages that are inappropriate on the list include:

     * Product or service announcements that have an excessive
       amount of unobjective marketing hype

     * Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
       computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
       domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
       xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer

     You should also read the the Yahoo Terms of Service document,
     which contains information about their policy toward spam, along
     with other things.

  C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
     list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
     and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
     the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
     that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
     might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
     topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
     personally believe the particular topic drift to be.

     [0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html

     xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
     from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].

     [1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
     [2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
     [3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html

     To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
     avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
     strategy is simply to ignore them).

  0. TOPIC GUIDELINES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     xml-doc is for discussion of XML/SGML and document authoring,
     particularly authoring of documentation for computer software
     and hardware. Topics for which list members have a specific
     interest include:

       * XML editing applications
       * Single-sourcing for multiple audiences/delivery formats
       * XML-based content management systems
       * DocBook and other document-oriented markup vocabularies
       * Converting legacy documents
       * Organizational strategies for structured authoring
       * Document analysis and markup model design/refinement
       * Transitioning from older (e.g. FrameMaker) environments
       * Publishing (transforming and delivering XML content)

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  1. ACCESSING THE XML-DOC WEB SITE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     As a member of the xml-doc mailing list, you also have access
     to the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

     To use some features of the Web site, you also need to
     choose a username and password and register with Yahoo Groups.

  2. POSTING AND REPLYING TO MESSAGES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     To send a message to all the members of the mailing list,
     e-mail it to:

       xml-doc@yahoogroups.com

     To post a message via the Web, visit:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/post/xml-doc/

     By default, when you reply to a message, the reply is sent to
     all members of the list. If you want to reply just to the
     author of a posted message, please specify only the author's
     e-mail address in the "To:" field in your reply.

     Here are a few general tips for posting and replying to
     messages delivered to online mailing lists:

     a. Use meaningful subject lines.

        Try not to use generic, uninformative subject lines such as
        "Easy question," "Help needed," "Urgent," and so on.
        Instead, use meaningful subject lines that will quickly
        make sense to the people whose help you are trying to get.

     b. Quote only relevant parts of messages when replying.

        When replying to a message, please don't quote the author's
        entire message unless it's really necessary. Instead,
        quote just the parts to which you are directly replying, or
        quote only enough to establish a context for your reply.

     c. Avoid idiomatic and colloquial English.

        Be sensitive to the fact that a significant number of
        subscribers to any English-language online mailing list are
        non-native speakers of English. By avoiding idiomatic and
        colloquial language, you ensure that your message will have
        a higher degree of international readability.

     Please also take a moment to read the NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT,
     TROLLS, AND FLAMES at the end of this message.

  3. READING MESSAGES VIA THE WEB AND ACCESSING THE MESSAGE ARCHIVE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     All messages posted to the list are simultaneously posted to
     xml-doc website and are immediately available at:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/messages/xml-doc/

     All messages are also automatically archived. To search
     the archive, use the search box on the message page. To browse
     the archive by month, visit the xml-doc main page:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-doc/

  4. UNSUBSCRIBING, RECEIVING DIGESTS, AND PUTTING MAIL ON HOLD
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     You can unsubscribe at any time by e-mailing a message to

       xml-doc-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com

     To specify that you want to receive a digest of messages once
     a day instead of receiving messages one at a time as they are
     posted, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-digest@yahoogroups.com

     To remain a list member, but receive no mail (for example, if
     you plan to read messages by accessing the archive at the
     xml-doc Web site or if you want to stop your xml-doc e-mail
     while you are on a vacation), send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-nomail@yahoogroups.com

     To switch back from the "digest" or "no mail" settings to the
     "normal" setting, send a blank e-mail message to:

       xml-doc-normal@yahoogroups.com

     You can also change your delivery settings from the xml-doc
     Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/xml-doc/

  5. DEALING WITH E-MAIL ATTACHMENTS
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Any files that members attach to a message are stripped out
     before the message is distributed to the list; you cannot send
     or receive attachments via the list.

     If you have a file you would like to make available to the
     other members of the list, upload it directly to the file
     sharing area of the xml-doc Web site:

       http://groups.yahoo.com/files/xml-doc/

     All interested members can then access or download the file at
     their convenience.

  6. RECEIVING FURTHER HELP

     If you have questions about the list itself and need to have
     them answered by a real person, send them to:

..................................................................

  A. PRIVACY POLICY
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     The xml-doc list moderator has a complete list of e-mail
     addresses for all xml-doc subscribers, but will not provide
     any subscriber e-mail addresses or personal information to any
     third party, at any time, for any purpose. Yahoo Groups itself
     has a separate privacy policy:

       http://privacy.yahoo.com/

     Read their policy carefully and make sure it is acceptable to
     you. If it's not, you should unsubscribe from the list.

  B. NO-SPAM NOTICE
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Please don't post messages to xml-doc that are not related
     directly to XML/SGML and document authoring. Specific types of
     messages that are inappropriate on the list include:

     * Product or service announcements that have an excessive
       amount of unobjective marketing hype

     * Any "for sale" announcements; for example, if you have used
       computer equipment or software you're trying to re-sell, or a
       domain name you want to unload, posting an announcement to
       xml-doc is not an appropriate way to try to find a buyer

  C. NOTE ON TOPIC DRIFT, TROLLS, AND FLAMES
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
     Before posting or replying to a message, please remember this
     list's stated purpose -- as outlined in the TOPIC GUIDELINES --
     and show consideration for the fact that there are subscribers on
     the list from a wide variety of professional backgrounds, and
     that many people aren't going to be nearly as interested as you
     might be in any particular discussion that drifts away from the
     topic guidelines, no matter how important/relevant you may
     personally believe the particular topic drift to be.

     [0] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/topic-drift.html

     xml-doc is a relatively low-noise list, and relatively free
     from trolls[1] and flames[2] and flame bait[3].

     [1] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/troll.html
     [2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame.html
     [3] http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/flame-bait.html

     To help keep the noise level down, don't fan the flames, and
     avoid feeding the trolls if/when they appear (a much better
     strategy is simply to ignore them).
