Package: C-Block Specification
System name: cblock-spec
Type: non-GNU

Description:
A content and process description specification based off of the formatting 
styles of C, C++, Java, PHP, UML, CSS and other languages which use the { } 
characters to enclose blocks of either content of logical operations.
The specification is to be designed as a replacement for XML 
[http://www.w3.org/XML/], which has, in my opinion, been co-opted by large 
corporations and research instiutions, making it insensitive to the needs and 
uses of independant programmers.
Ideally, the completed 1.0 specification would be fully compatible with the 
Java language (so chosen due to it\'s more rigid uses of the semicolon and 
curly brace characters) and unidirectionally compatible with C and C++ (all 
C-Block conformant programs would successfully compile, though not all C or C++ 
programs would be C-Block compliant).
The goal of the project is to develop a specification from which a unified 
parser may be designed, and which could be equally applicable for hypertext 
documents and logical programs. A critical design goal is to allow mixed and 
embedded content types (embedding a script-type content block in a hypertext 
document). Finally, the specification itself would be licensed under the GPL, 
so that the entire GNU and open source community could cooperate in designing 
and revising the specification.
NOTE: NO SOURCE CODE DEVELOPED SO FAR.
