Subject:Is this some obscure but correct terminology? From:John Posada <jposada01 -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Thu, 4 Aug 2005 09:35:22 -0700 (PDT)
Hi, guys...I received the following sentence in some content from a
developer. I've never seen this usage before, so before I rewrite or
question it, I want to know if anyone has ever seen this usage:
"Hydration/Dehydration of an XML structure from/to ASCII format"
I'm not addressing the use of the slashes or the from/to usage. What
I need to know is, is "hydration" and "dehydration" a phrasing that
those who know the secret handshake would find appropriate?
In this case, no water or moisture is involved with the subject, just BizTalk.
