xml + mac
xml class is going swimmingly, despite being the only person in the class using a mac. normally being on a mac isn’t a disability, but with xml, there’s a number of issues that still haven’t been resolved (and how long has xml existed!). it’s hard to find a good xml-editor for a mac, and most osx browsers don’t “yet” support a number of features of xml (general entities, namespaces, multiple schemas)…
the silver lining is that i’ll be the only one in the class with a strong sense of how xml files look on OSX. i’ll know what not to use, to ensure that my pages are cross-platform compatible.
