KISS KML

Or how do i make an descriptive language imperative.

I've bought a KISS 1600 player a few weeks ago. Nice device, hooked it up to my network and now i can do all sorts of stuff that reahaly should have been able to do year ago. But i degress.

LynkSys developed a markup language the Kiss Markup Language
To my horror, they reintroduced the evil goto element.

Serously though, they 've really tried hurting xml in as many ways as legally possible. They have taken this perfectly well descriptive language and tried to turn it into a imperative scripting language.
It does have nice uses, but events, like onclick, on_Event? Everybody knows these are attributes to an element, not an element itself?

Another problem i think kml has is it lack of tools, dtd or schema.

But other then that, i think i see many nice possibilities for this language/player. Lot's of hours to waste :-)
