<FONT color=#ff0000>MixedXML
</FONT>
<FONT color=#000000>is a contrary concept of
<A href="../lib/images/xecms/baseXML/xmldoc/portal/xml_portal/purexml_kr.xml">PureXML
</A>that means impure, dirty XML which own proprietary tag format has been added in W3C's standard XML to use specific applications.
</FONT>
</P>
<P>For example, RSS, ODF, OOXML, XHTML, XML for Microsoft InfoPath and PDFXML could be classified to MixedXML.
<BR>
<BR>
<STRONG>Then, How can we differentiate between PureXML and MixedXML?

<font style="font-size:80%;">●</font>First, the XML can be showed in Web Browser without any further devices. e.g. in general, RSS have to be shown in RSS reader not in Web Browser.
<BR>
<font style="font-size:80%;">●</font>Second, Data and View should be separated. Data and View separated in OOXML, but the view part stored in XML(not in XSL) and decode it in applications.
<BR>
<font style="font-size:80%;">●</font>Third, XSL should be used. Most of benefits in using XML is XSL. The table calculation, Hyperlink, Express multimedia, link XML structure, etc are centered in XSL.
<BR> If we will not use XSL, we could not utilize full XML technology and can not take full benefits of XML.
<BR>
<BR>Currently, we can only use HTML and XML in Web Browser on the internet.
</LI>
<P>However, these stnadard documents do not providing various functions (table, sheet, presentation, statistics, print, etc) of contents.
<BR>Therefore, the most great concern is a new document standard can be used without dependency of any applications.
<BR>
<BR>ISO(International Organization for Standardization) accepted ODF as standard document format on May, 2006.
<BR>The hot issue is that if ISO accept OOXML by Microsoft as a standard document format in comming September, 2007.
<BR>
<BR>Now, the war of standard XML document is started. Nobody knows which document format will be winner after all, but the benefits of PureXML should be considered in-depth.
<BR>MixedXML include ODF and OOXML should be developed and evolved to the format that utilize the benefits in maximum of W3C's standard XML has.
<BR>MixedXML should be affordable to use XSL, XLink, Xpointer, Xpath technology.
<BR>
<BR>The PureXML which announced by W3C at 1998 could not solve a core problem of XML, then, there are a lot of difficulties to use and distribute on the Web.
<BR>In conclusion, we have not been seen and used a real XML which recommended as standard from W3C.
<BR>Why can't we see XML on the Web?
<BR>
<BR>The human race is going into the standard controversy without experience and knowledge of PureXML technology.
<BR>
<BR>
</FONT>HTML on HTTP has been enormously succeeded so far. All roads are concentrated to the internet.
<BR>We are expecting that the XML can be used by anytime, anywhere and anyone like HTML in the future.
