FYI, to SXML-using Racketeers...
I'm moving from PLaneT to the new package system today, so here's info
on some SXML-related things that I expect to do today:
* Today I expect to add a small documentation-only package for all
things SXML-related in Racket, probably called `sxml-overview`. This
will give a short introduction to SXML in the abstract, and then list
the available SXML-related tools/packages/resources, *without* having a
Racket package dependency on the packages. Then, each SXML-related
package author can choose to refer/link/depend on `sxml-overview`
package, such as a hyperlink in the package's documentation. Hopefully
this will reduce FAQs around SXML/xexp/xml/xexpr/XML/HTML formats in
Racket... I will maintain the `sxml-overview` package. (I will use the
PLaneT `xexp` package as a starting point, but strip the small number of
`provide`s out of that package.)
* For my SXML-related packages that I'm moving from PLaneT today, I will
keep any temporary "SXML/xexp" and "xexp" names/identifiers/terminology
they have right now in PLaneT. This is least disruptive to package
users. This also gives some opportunity to later break
backward-compatibility, such as if Oleg and I converge 100% and I get
rid of the "xexp" from names.
* John Clements's useful `sxml` package (which provides the original
SXML-related tools of Oleg et al.) will be unaffected. I'll refer to
this `sxml` package from `sxml-overview`. Once `sxml-overview` is
established, John can decide whether to refer/depend on `sxml-overview`,
at his convenience.
