XInclude, designed to make it easier to include part of one XMl document into another, has been a neglected specification for a long time. Now Bob DuCharme gives a good example of how it can be useful with Transclude with XInclude (and XPointer!). It still doesn’t address the security issues, but OK, there you are.
If you’re reading this blog from top to bottom, by now you’ve discovered that I’m doing a little bookmark housekeeping, saving some of my bookmarks for posterity (and future reference). Of course, from my perspective, this is the first of them, so I’ll apologize in advance for me and in retrospect to you for all [...]

I’ve gotten tired of the fact that I can’t get CIHost to update any software on the server without charging me for it, so I sat down and wrote a standalone trackback tool. This is just a first version, and unfortunately, it only works in IE for the moment, but I’d appreciate comments on how [...]
In the InformIT XML Reference Guide: DOM and Perl Perl was originally designed as a lnaguage for sorting through text, so it’s not surprising that it is a good fit for XML. In fact, there are multiple ways to handle XML using Perl, so in this section we’re going to look at manipulating DOM “objects” [...]

Here’s an interesting little tool. I find it a bit of a pain to have to log in to Amazon’s Associate’s Central when I want to build a link. BlogFuel generates a JavaScript you can use to automatically add search results to a page. Maybe I’ll add a “what I’m reading” list to CM. Hm.
