Allein #SVG und #MathML sind relevante Browser-basierte #XML-Technologien. #RSS / #Atom existieren ebenfalls.

#XSLT lebt auf dem Server weiter und hat in Version 3.0 (bald 4.0) primär für lokal angesiedelte Prozesse der Dokumentverarbeitung (#DITA, #DocBook, #TEI) eine ungebrochene Bedeutung. Zudem steht mit #SaxonJS eine Browser-Alternative zur Verfügung.

Pensionierte XMLer werden bestimmt ebenso gefragt sein wie im Fall von #COBOL.

So the time has come for me to write some proper documentation for xrust... does anyone have a recommendation for #docbook or #DITA editing? Not sure which to go with yet, my #XML knowledge is from the finance world. 😅

Would like to output some static files for hosting.
