Computers and digital media communicate in binary. People communicate using a variety of analog schemes. We've been creating structured tagging schemes to bridge the gap since about an hour and a half after we discovered that binary could be used to manipulate information. I expect that we'll stop when the machines speak our language.
XML's successor will no doubt sit on a stack that makes it both descriptive and an analog of some underlying binary representation.
Bring on the binary !! Then let's quickly evolve to a solution that delivers on both the self describing and non-program-centric promise of XML.
