Abstract: eXtensible Markup Language (XML) has quickly gained
acceptance as a platform and application independent grammar for
marshalling data as well as structuring documents for further
processing or presentation. As more and more sectors find XML
beneficial, most notably the Web Services Architecture, the overly
verbose syntax of XML and complicated rules for handling markup and
character data begin to approach their limits. This seminar showcases
some of the most notable efforts done to overcome these problems.
