In a previous post, I have expressed the common thinking that digitally signed emails would be a strong spam stopper.

Last year Edd Dumbill, XTech Conference Chair, had been kind enough to answer my questions about the 2005 issue of the conference previously known as “XML Europe”. We’re renewing the experience, taking the opportunity to look back at last year issue and to figure out how XTech 2006 should look like.
vdV: You mention in your [...]

Note
This article is a translation of the article published in French on XMLfr and presented at sparklingPoint.

Media types (previously called mime types) always stuck me as something which is simple in theory but awfully complex in practise.
When they seem to be working, you can enjoy your luck and be sure that this is only temporary before the next release of software X or Y: after the recent upgrade from Ubuntu Hoary [...]

This is the first entry of a series dedicated to the TreeBind generic binding API.
I have recently made good progress in the extensive refactoring of TreeBind required by my proposal to support RDF and it’s time to start explaining these changes.
