It’s the accent, isn’t it?

The U.K.’s National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) basically figures out who deserves treatment by using a cost-utility analysis based on the “quality adjusted life year.”

One year in perfect health gets you one point. Deductions are taken for blindness, for being in a wheelchair and so on.

The more points you have, the more your life is considered worth saving, and the likelier you are to get care.

Couldn’t agree more. XML, and thus XHTML, is fantastic as part of a pipeline.  XML processing tools let you add custom elements, metadata, display hints, settings and so forth and then a quick dash of XSLT gets you a finished render in HTML. Lovely.

After all, we don’t serve images on the web in .psd format, do we?
