A legislation experiment

Introduction:

This implementation has been inspired by my work in Central and Local government where the teams I work with have all needed a much more referencable set of documents than are currently published.
These examples are all derived from the existing XML formats supplied by the publishers.

Please read the accompanying “A love letter to the Parliamentary Counsel of the world” first.

Dedicated to all those tasked with documenting, interpreting and coding our regs and laws.

Current examples:

Note: the loveletter instance originally created on this blog has now been removed. Links below updated to Syncopate Lab's experimental site.
