Semi-structured data pipelines

the cocooners are musing about a filesystem that is aware of semistructured data.

Imagine having an XSL processor in the kernel:
You could “execute” .xsl files, bypassing having to run a processor manually.
prompt$ page2html.xsl < input.xml > output.html

this jibes well with the notion of making xml the default programming model, something i would like to see (i like xml much more than java 🙂 i wrote about this 2 years ago. damn, has it been 2 years already.
