First, for real confusion, it helps if you come to computing from
another background, let's say literature and philosophy. The first
thing you discover is that the brains behind the concepts use
descriptions that don't have natural metaphors. The story doesn't
stick, it has to be learned by rote. [1] Why should an element have a
value rather than a value have an attribute? The next is that there
are competing metaphors. Then you learn that there can be loops,
elements within elements. Finally, when you get down to the bits that
count you realise that you're at the wedding and you don't know who
is who. Is that my first cousin's eldest son talking to my brother's
wife's niece or is it my sister-in-laws youngest sister and her
boyfriend. To make it worse, the day is done, tomorrow and the next
day there are matters of great urgency, so you lose your place and
have to start again.
To me, this sounds like you don't understand how XML is structured, or
at least not what things are called. And once you learn, you forget.
Would that be accurate?
We're getting down to brass tacks now. ;-)
yes, in the case that I have described, that would be accurate.
