Balisage is designed to meet the needs of markup theoreticians and practitioners who are pushing the boundaries of the field. It's all about the markup: how to create it; what it means; hierarchies and overlap; modeling; taxonomies; transformation; query, searching, and retrieval; presentation and accessibility; making systems that make markup dance (or dance faster to a different tune in a smaller space) — in short, changing the world and the web through the power of marked-up information.

Topics in 2009 include: design of tools for writing XML and ways to hide XML from authors; XML processing pipelines; encoding multiple versions of documents, theory of document versioning, and change management in a compex XML environment; creating XSD sschemas from UML; linking, namespaces, vocabularies, and a variety of XML-related specifications including Schematron, XSLT, XPath, & XForms and a host of others. Several slots have been left open for late-breaking news.
