 Revised link:  Omnimark

  On first sight, I like it a lot. They're dealing with markup
primarily (What can we do to XML documents?); they're taking a
grammatical approach, which I like (although I'm not sure whether
we now want one which applies at the text syntax level, rather
than the semantic); and it's stream-based from the outset, which
Kurt will like.

  I get a flash that it might be a natural partner for WorldOS.

  It won't replace XPath/XSLT. I suspect it might not scale up to
heavy document processing - which XPath/XSLT/XLinks must do, or die.

  But it may turn out to be just what I want in an XML source editor.

  I'll look into it, and return with comments in a few days.

  Thanks.

  Jonathan
