IBM Helps XML

IBM added some cool nifty features for XML in their Emerging Technologies Toolkit.

The alpha versions available at their website including an XML document editor and an XML forms generator.

The new editor will allow users to utilize XML documents when working and writing for the web. This will also allow more control over multimedia as Voice XML and Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language are integrated in to the new package.

A compound XML document combines XML markup from several namespaces into a single physical document.There are a few standards that exists today, and continue to be developed, that are descriptions of XML markup within a single namespace. XHTML, XForms, XML Events, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), VoiceXML, and MathML are prominent examples of such standards, each having its own namespace.

These products offered by IBM aren't exactly finished products. But what is interesting however is the tendency of IBM to include these technologies/productsin one of their future offerings. These products are available as free downloads for testing and usage.
