Re: [www-vrml] X3D and the Draconian Parse Rule

Hey Niclas...welcome back!
I tend to agree that while annoying at first the draconian parser method is better in the end...will make for more
interoperable and reliable content...in general.

I don't. I live the middleware-nightmare. First it was HTML. Then it was VRML. Now it's lazy XML applications. And somewhere inbetween it was Perl. Made me a fan of draconian parsers. Makes better specs, and in the end, easier authoring. It's hard to learn from history when it is processed through friendly parsers.
