[xsl] [ANN] HTML5 and XML: a symposium

2014-01-30 12:00:43
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

HTML5 and XML: Mending Fences 
a Balisage pre-conference symposium

a one-day symposium preceding Balisage: The Markup Conference
Robin Berjon, chair

Despite a decade of efforts dedicated to making XML the markup language of the 
Web, today it is HTML5 that has taken on that role. While HTML5 can in part be 
made to work with an XML syntax, reliance on that feature is rare compared to 
use of HTML5's own syntax.

Over the years, the competition between these two approaches has led to 
animosity and frustration. But both XML and HTML5 are now clearly here to stay, 
and with the upcoming standardisation of HTML5 in 2014 it is now time to take 
stock and see how both technologies — and both communities — can coöperate 
constructively.

There are many environments in which these two markup languages are brought to 
interact. Additionally, there is much that they can learn from one another. We 
are looking forward to sharing experiences and ideas that bring the two 
together.

Topics include:

We welcome proposals to present at the Symposium. Topics may include, but are 
not limited to:

- Experiences (at any level of success) working with both HTML and XML
- Applying XML tools to HTML5 and vice-versa
- How Web technology built on XML can be brought to the HTML5 world
- Capturing data and metadata in HTML, or in general extending or refining HTML 
for specific applications
- Approaches to working with non-XML languages with an XML tool-set, including 
notably JSON as it is commonly used in conjunction with HTML
