27 ;;Quote: relaxed, extensible text formats and protocols work better than efficient binary ones; easily shared and understood

28 ;;Quote: linear scaling and simplicity important for Web applications; allows high volumes and throughput

28 ;;Quote: stale data is OK; most data is updated infrequently or not at all; allows lazy replication and scalability

28 ;;Quote: successful systems on the Web are bottom-up, depending on the wisdom of crowds

28 ;;Quote: people understand graphs of tree-like documents (HTML) connected by links (URL)

28 ;;Quote: web servers normally handle 100 requests a second within an order of magnitude

28+;;Quote: avoid servers responding to fine-grained events; e.g., keystrokes or mouse moves

28 ;;Quote: servers should run asynchronously with respect to clients; loosely coupled, maximize throughput, prioritize requests, failover

29 ;;Quote: XML should indicate nearly, static elements; simplifies update of stale data

29 ;;Quote: XML should be understandable and useable without a universal schema

29+;;Quote: an XML schema is a shared secret that ties clients and servers together

30 ;;Quote: XML doesn't handle links; the division of the data world into chunks depends on the person and purpose

30+;;Quote: use self-describing links with purpose and MIME type; e.g., purpose="comments" type="text/atom"

30 ;;Quote: XML does not distinguish between data and sets of data

30 ;;Quote: Atom XML is a container (feed) of unorder entry elements; must include id, updated, and title; any other elements OK

30 ;;Quote: can reliably replace Atom entries with the same and

31 ;;Quote: display menus of Atom entries using
