XML in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

Acknowledgments

Many people were involved in the production of this book. The original editor, John Posner, got this book rolling and provided many helpful comments that substantially improved the book. When John moved on, Laurie Petrycki shepherded this book to its completion. Simon St.Laurent took up the mantle of editor for the second and third editions. The eagle-eyed Jeni Tennison read the entire manuscript from start to finish and caught many errors, large and small. Without her attention, this book would not be nearly as accurate. Stephen Spainhour deserves special thanks for his work on the reference section. His efforts in organizing and reviewing material helped create a better book. We’d like to thank Matt Sergeant, Didier P. H. Martin, Steven Champeon, and Norm Walsh for their thorough technical review of the manuscript and thoughtful suggestions. James Kass’s Code2000 and Code2001 fonts were invaluable in producing Chapter 27.

We’d also like to thank everyone who has worked so hard to make XML such a success over the last few years and thereby given us something to write about. There are so many of these people that we can only list a few. In alphabetical order we’d like to thank Tim Berners-Lee, Jonathan Borden, Jon Bosak, Tim Bray, David Brownell, Mike Champion, James Clark, John Cowan, Roy Fielding, Charles Goldfarb, Jason Hunter, Arnaud Le Hors, Michael Kay, Deborah Lapeyre Keiron Liddle, Murato Makoto, Eve Maler, Brett McLaughlin, David Megginson, David Orchard, ...
