The separation of data from its display

Admin1: XML documents do not carry information about how to display data.

Dr. Gravytee: This is very unelegant and it won't be acceptable in Alphysics circles.

A1: Single XML tags are invented by the author of the XML document, browsers do not know if a tag like *table* describes an HTML table or a dining table.

Dr. G: In Alphysics a word *word* describes any word defined by the Doctor in that namespace.

A1: This is confusing. String Theory does not conform to namespace.

Dr. G: *namespace* is a word. Therefore, in Alphysics *namespace* means whatever I say it means now. Few minutes later I will use *namespace* to mean its opposite.

A1: So in Alphysics *table* means a dining table and an HTML table.

Dr. G: Centuries ago, when mathematics was a new topic and Doctors were inventing its rules displaying mathematics was through geometry. Today mathematical displays are pictorial.

A1: Therefore, in Alphysics mathematical displays are not mathematical but pictorial and polemical.

Dr. G: Surely. Nature spared us from the ubiquitous photoshop ball stretching the fabric of spacetimes. Such a thing does not exist in nature. Both spacetimes and its fabric and the photoshop ball are elegant branding.

A1: Very Confucian.

Dr. G: Confucius fought hard against the Doctors of Alphysics of his time to rectify the language so that table meant table but he did not succeed. After Confucius many have tried. They all failed. In the 17th century Fermat tried to rectify geometry in order to remove all the scholastic and Alphysical layers of junk Doctors added on geometrical figures in order to corrupt geometry so that they can use the authority of geometry to further their careers. Fermat too failed.
