Re: [Yaml-core] XML Mapping and some points

[Clark C . E. <cc...@cl...>]

| I think that the right way to handle an XML tag is 
| as a type. Thus the best way to represent the following:
| 
| <p attr="val">mixed<em>text</em></p>
| 
| Would be:
| 
| xml: !p
|  attr: val
|  =:
|   - mixed
|   - !em text

<x:p xmlns:x="some-uri">one<x:q>two</x:q></x:p>

--- !!some-uri.p
- one
- !!.q


| The way I see it, 'p' is a type; it means "this is a paragraph". It makes
| perfect sense to convert it into an in-memory paragraph data type (something
| which may well exist in a word processing application).

It also may work well with the whole namespace debacle
(proof goes here)

| The fact that in most cases a YAML processor would encode the XML types
| using normal maps is besides the point. They are still types.

Right.  Ok.  I'm sold.  How much flexibility do I have
in the type names... can I quote them?

 !!"some-uri".x

This would allow a full injection of XML into YAML.


| We could just drop it...

Your choice!
