In the new environment, we would be working with templates just as we do today, where our MARC inputting templates automatically create the ISO2709 format of a MARC record, which nobody ever looks at. I think the raw XML coding would be considered similar to the ISO2709 view: something nobody every looks at.

Oh, I'm pretty sure this was not Ashleys brandnew idea but has occured
to many a bright mind in the XML universe. That's why I asked what
the tools are to get there. Nested data is not something we alone
might consider or want. The vast majority of XML applications, or so
I read elsewhere, are very straightforward, linear, non-hierarchic
and simple to implement and evaluate. And I'm leaning towards the
overkill view Ross has just confessed to...
