 Pedantic Markup Language
  (+5, -2)
(+5, -2) 		  [vote for,
against]

A tag based markup language that forces the writer into such specificity that even the Autonomous PeterSealy Machine (see link) would be unable to provide useless comment.

       That should say "tag-based"
—globaltourniquet, May 02 2001
   

       Wonderful! Tags could contain qualifying statements about the intended usage, alternate definitions of words, all sorts of pedant-defusing remarks, like--   

       <intentional satiric misuse>
<dialectic spelling>
<exaggeration for effect>		   

       And so on. Yes!

       Don't worry, UB, luckily it's pretty much impossible.

       This sounds only slightly more fun than progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (see link).   

       That Human Markup thing is really sick.

       <pml effect="rationalisation of implementation possibilities">This could be implemented as an extension to HTML. A browser option ("I am a pedant") would turn &lt;pml&gt; tags into links or display popup text within "effect" and possibly other attributes.</pml> <pml effect="qualifier to support of idea">This would have an unfortunate effect on "nuance, humour and sponaneity," not to mention writing time.</pml>
