Excellent idea, poor execution. The death knell of so many grant funded art projects. ABSML will generate cliche text using XML.
At the moment, a real ABSML implementation is impossible, as there's no DTD nor even a list of supported tags in plan english. Only a retro looking form on their web site and a little AJAX glue to print your creation on your own webpage. There is also a black box around their parser, which is only available in the form of a "web service".
