Inspired by the existing recommendation on the cocan wiki for I/O, I&#39;d like to recommend the development of a standard interface for XML processing.&nbsp; Currently there are many different implementations of XML parsers but their interfaces are very different and don&#39;t allow for easy swapping of implementations.<br>
<br>On a side note, the development of these recommendations seems to be very much in the vein of an SRFI in the scheme world, which I think is an excellent model to follow for these recommendations.&nbsp; (which doesn&#39;t include the actual mechanics of distribution or package management which seems to be the bulk of OSR discussion).<br>
<br>I&#39;m willing to start the topic on the wiki but I&#39;m simply going to take an existing XML processor and start from there.<br><br>
