RE: AS/400 discussion on SLASHDOT.ORG

That was sarcasm I believe.  The poster was suggesting that informing the
market that your processor ran XML (basically a text based markup language)
was not exactly going to shake the foundations of the computing world.
It's great the AS/400 now supports XML but in reality it's not exactly a
big deal - most of the world's AS/400 professional are never going to use
it.  It's just another buzz word - what you get when you let sales people
write copy without consulting techos...

Here's my question.  There is one comment about a "non-XML-compliant
processor."

What the heck makes a processor XML compliant or not?  I apologize if I've
really missed something here.  I should check my AMD K-6s to see if they
are
XML compliant.
