"I'm cannot say that I see the relevance to XML here? The question was
about a grafical toolkit not markup language."
You build the graphical tool kit out of the markup language rendering
system. It would then be possible to build a windowing system (GUI) based on
Ada tasking. The markup language is for rendering. It greatly facilitates
creating windows or frames. When one uses a typical Internet application,
the material one sees is predominantly based on HTML and its environment.
The use of XML permits the creation of forms, equations, vector graphics
etc.
I never said that XML was in and of itself sufficient. However, the
combination of Ada and XML would provide the type of technological
discontinuity that permits a change in technology. Namely, we go from
hacking with Windows to software engineering with Ada and XML.
