Once again the simple question: How do you express CIDR with
XML ? XML is not "the new ASCII". It's a simplification of
SGML, because browsers / parsers / humans were too stupid to
handle SGML correctly. XML is for the structure of (large)
documents. And it's really good or at least good enough for
this purpose, parsing XML is easy.
But "the structure of documents" is not the same as "any data
structure". AFAIK there are no "numbers" in XML. And without
numbers there are no IPs. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
