Thanks. The linked document justifies all design decisions. Please try to make valid criticism.

They are for less than and greater than in mathematics!? They are good in markup for a number of reasons including that they stand out.

I believe it is readable, what else could that mean but a Book object with the given name, the author details and an array of three one-line reviews. Fascinating. Of interest. Wort…

I emboldened the blocks a little. Looks good on Chrome on iPhone but not Edge nor Safari. :o| Thanks.

The point is one can apply the xᴇɴᴏɴ library to arbitrary data and generate representative markup. For “Egyptian hieroglyphs not encoded in Unicode” 𓀠 one can write plug-ins.

There is the concept of “well formed xᴇɴᴏɴ” as outputted by the ᴅᴏᴍ and serializer which is deterministic as will suffice for canonicalization.

Specific points would be a contribution to the discussion.

The charset is not published, when it does eventuate byte order marks safeguard the interpretation of documents.

See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42038004#42082571 Xᴇɴᴏɴ provides semantics around common data types.

Thanks

That is the only place that I have stated xᴇɴᴏɴ’s applicability to configuration and data.

Appears to be a bug in your browser. See the embedded css, the block are the same font size just Courier New or a monospace font.

Have you? And they are quite different!

Made them lighter so more legible.

No; I don’t believe so.

Make a point.
