Yes. That's the point I was trying to emphasize. (03)
Nobody develops alternatives to good notations. The fact that there
are so many variations is a sign that the edict to make the XML
serialization the normative version was a disaster. (04)
People constantly say "Oh, you don't have to use it if you don't
like it." But making the XML serialization the normative version
is a terrible example of a premature optimization in favor of the
semantically least important and most trivial aspect. (05)
The first step toward a rational reconstruction of the Semantic Web
is to demote the XML serialization of the languages to a legacy
status. Then sponsor a design competition for better alternatives. (06)
