Microsoft, of course, will come out with a proprietary version: BLML (Bruce Lee Markup Language). BLML will not be compatable with JCML.
Now we need a KFTP (Kung-Fu Transport Protocol).-- phoenix, May 19 2002 //weaker//jealous, jealous, jealous-- thumbwax, May 19 2002 OK then there's DLML (David Lynch markup language)
<meaningless eerie closeup>In fact, I'm there right now</meaningless eerie closeup>
And SKML (Stanley Kubrick ML)
<wide-angle tracking shot>Oh I was cured, all right</wide-angle tracking shot>
and perhaps SSML (Steven Spielberg ML)

I must be stupid, but what is the idea.?-- arora, May 19 2002 I don't get it either, [arora].-- bristolz, May 19 2002 I really didn't at first, but /… KFTP (Kung-Fu Transport Protocol)…/ is illuminating of JCML.-- reensure, May 20 2002 Alas, it's not illuminating to me.-- bristolz, May 20 2002 [thumbwax] can correct me if I misspeak, but the idea is for a descriptive language for the martial arts.
I think the idea started as a parody or spoof; but if one stretches a bit, one can imagine using such a language to animate avatars, coordinate stunt scenes or a way of describing people (if Jackie Chan can Grab, Rotate, Invert and Break..., I can Snore, Teach, Change Diaper and HalfBake...). Alas, the author doesn't give an intent, which may be the death of it.-- phoenix, May 20 2002 Choreography already has a specific language to describe body movements through space. I am too lazy once again to provide a link. Have a good evening.-- entremanure, May 20 2002 Are you talking about Life Forms, the graphic choreo/dance sequence system or are you talking about dance notation (labanotation)? I posted links for each. Both are graphic as opposed to a text and text markup system. I've seen Life Forms but never knew about labanotation. It looks interesting.-- bristolz, May 20 2002 D'oh! Sorry, I should have seen your links. Its late...Delete my anno if you want to.-- entremanure, May 20 2002 Not to worry. I posted the links after I read your anno.-- bristolz, May 20 2002 Obviously.-- bristolz, May 20 2002 Hint:computer: programming language category-- thumbwax, May 20 2002 Tae Kwin doxp, the latest clueflon-based operating system can manage JCML with enough standing power to wrestle down BLML in background operations.-- reensure, May 26 2002 phoenix: I prefer Mac OS Christ.-- Valrus, Oct 17 2002 One of my classmates in the Artificial Intelligence II class in Edinburgh, 1977, created a language to describe dance moves. Would probably work fine for this. Unfortunately the reference copy of her paper was lost when the AI Dept library in Edinburgh burned down a few years back. A tragic day.-- gtoal, Apr 25 2008 CSIML
