According to Adam Turoff:
IIRC, there was talk of embedding expat into the perl core when the
XML geeks played with it enough and figured out what 'making XML
easy to parse in perl' means.
Urk. I'd hate to favor one representation like that. (Unless
'embedding' really is more like 'bundling'.)
Is this discussion going on with the expectation that the REengine
_needs_ to understand angle brackets?
No, it's discussing things a bit more abstract than that, of which XML
is only one representation.
