The Well-Formed Web

Exploring the limits of XML and HTTP

What's the point?

It was pointed out to me that I never explicitly mentioned the goal of this site. I mentioned what you would and wouldn't find here, but not what I am trying to accomplish, so here goes:

The goal of WellFomedWeb.org is to demonstrate that anything you can do with RDF and/or SOAP-based web services can be done with HTTP and simple XML, and that it can be done faster, more securely and more robustly.

I am going to leave the definition of 'simple' XML to another day, but to get an idea please read Simon St. Laurent's Monastic XML.
