There's also a competing W3C standard named Webmention [1] based on WordPress' pingback/linkback protocols [2] which in turn were based on XML-RPC and exploited for DDoS attacks, like most things WordPress (it's one of the reasons your http access logs are chock full of 404s for xmlrpc.php). AFAICS, pingback remains the most used method though, or the only one that ever went mainstream before web commenting consolidated onto a couple news aggregators, HN and reddit among them.

The Web annotations protocol has been published as W3C spec in 2016 already (so not "now"), and, as a child of its time, uses god-awful JSON-LD, just like previous W3C specs chased XML whether it was a good fit or not when exchange of text data is one of the actual use cases for markup languages.

Is there an English word for always getting it wrong and blindly promoting formats? In German, there's the term Schlaglochsuchmaschine (pot hole search engine) as a metaphor borrowed from the automotive domain.

Hi, offtopic from the above but, I am trying to use your sgml npm package to parse some OFX files, I wonder if you could give some guidance on a problem i am having? I am trying to move away from a wasm compiled OpenSP.

I'm using am example from your website to try and convert from ofx to xml.

"content must start with document element when document type isn't specified" is the error I get.

Many thanks!!

Ask on Stack Overflow and include the term "sgml". If you're not on SO, temporarily add a personal mail address to your profile (in the about field) so I can get in touch.
