I hope that's a typo, Mr. Contradiction.
Plus, it's nothing like a virtual machine.  You don't know anything 
about
compilers, or ISA, so keep your mouth shut dumb-ass!

  Why do you say that Richard?  Please explain.

    Boy Richard, that's a really stupid idea ....

      I was wondering if it really would be possible to make a schema 
to
describe
      an ISA in XML and use that during construction of a compiler 
for XPL,
that
      can map XPL code to the ISA for a specific processor?  Then if 
another
ISA
      comes along, we can use XSLT to map the ISA to the XPL compiler
specifically
      based on the new ISA's schema?  Any thoughts?  Am I totally off 
base
here?
      Perhaps this is something like a Virtual Machine, except 
compiled, but
we
      don't have to compile it.

      In addition, couldn't we use the same kind of technique for 
building
an XPL
      I/O library, which maps perfectly to the instruction sets 
dealing with
I/O?
      Maybe this is nonsense ... don't worry, just tell me, I have no 
real
idea if
      it would work - it won't hurt my feelings. :-)
