And in other ways MODS doesn't have enough granularity. I'd like
to see more actual Markup (the type of Markup that the M in
XML once stood for.)
eg: I'd like to be able to do this sort of thing:
<tableOfContents>Part 1. <work><title>My Book</title>, by
<name type="..." role="...">Ashley Sanders</name></work>.
<work><title>Another book</title>, by <name>J. Doe</name></work>.
...
</tableOfContents>
You'd then actually be able to do stuff with the data.
In fact I think more mixed content and actual markup rather
than a rigidly defined data structure would be altogether better.
(Most schemas seem to have forgotten what the M in XML meant.)
Ashley.
