I've been following all of these discussions about MARC and its limitations, and sometimes it's beyond me because I'm not especially familiar with XMTL and the like--so here's my question:
Why can't MARC be expanded to function like these other formats if the data isn't presented in a ideal way to be extracted? Why does it have to be totally thrown out to adopt something completely different? Is that so impossible?
