OK - so everyone on the list apparently hates
Microsoft - not a problem. But Microsoft is the ONLY! mainstream browser
that supports any form of XML in a native format. So whatever its
failings, we seem to be relegated to haphazard support.
Which may not be a bad thing - at least its some
sort of support, and they are farther along the curve than Netscape is,
especially since the comments I've seen from the lists apparently seem to state
that Netscape could "take or leave" XML and/or XSL. I already have a
_javascript_ program that validates an XML document against a DTD and/or Schema -
done with IE5. I can't do that with any other product unless I want to get
something like the SoftQuad Products, which are too expensive to deliver into a
mainstream authoring environment. If I had to suggest that someone go out
and purchase 150 copies of the SoftQuad products, I'd be laughed out of the
office.
Most of my clientele uses Win98 or NT4, most of the
XML editors, save for SoftQuad, have an interface that only a programmer would
love - not the target market that I consult for. So I suggest that they
use IE4/MSXML or IE5 to author/validate structured documents with. Its
quick, relatively painless to support, relatively inexpensive, and most
importantly, WORKS! like a charm.
So as far as I'm concerned, I'll live with the
"quirks" in the Microsoft product - unless someone shows me a better product
that works on Win98 and NT4.
