Kay Ethier of North Carolina’s Bright Path Solutions talked about XML and the implications for technical writers and other content authors.

The advantage to XML mark-up over HTML is that the semantic tagging gives the technology some extra processing capabilities. And once writers get over the initial hump of understanding the paradigm shift, most embrace the system as a great improvement over traditional formatting-intensive content development.

The next logical articles or interviews might address:
1. Analysing content needs that determine XML structures
2. XML authoring tools used to create documents
I look forward to those.
