What are you on?

If you follow the link, and scroll to the top of the page it reads:

Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Fifth Edition) W3C Recommendation 26 November 2008

People wonder why I get frustrated by other supposedly intelligent people that cannot even follow a link and read what's there.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

The start of some sanity?

        Apparently, I'm the one who got confused. Anything to add to the following?

        • BUK: Yes. "Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple, very flexible text format ..."
        • ike: Note that the passage you quoted does not appear anywhere in the spec.
        • BUK: Que? If you follow the link behind the quoted passage, the very first line of the very first paragraph is word for word what I quoted.
        • ike: I said "the passage you quoted does not appear anywhere *in the spec*", emphasis added.
        • And by "the passage", I really meant any reference to being a text format at all.
        • BUK: Really? Then I guess you missed section "2.2 Characters" of "the spec": That I both linked and quoted elsewhere.
        • ike: Nope, apparently you misread it. There's nothing about XML being a text format in there.
