-			The world is relational!
+			<strong>When the stable version will be released?</strong>		
+			<br/>
+			We don't know – there is no exact date.
+			<m:name/> are something that should be released about twenty years ago. But real work started in 2018.
+			So it is not a big difference whether it will be released this month or the next one.
+			We understand the <em>release early, release often</em> rule.
+			But it fits better to application software than to standards and APIs.
+			Of course, we expect some evolution after the v1.0.0 release, but we need to stabilize and verify many things before the release in order to be able to maintain hackward compatibility in future.

+			<strong>Why don't build on XML? It is a standard since 1998 and there are many tools and libraries for it.</strong>		
+			<br/>
+			XML is a great and mature (meta)format and its ecosystem is respectable and inspiring.
+			But the XML does not conform to our <m:a href="principles">principles</m:a>, especially the ability to concatenate multiple files/streams and to append new records to an already existing relation.
+			XML is also not concise. 
+			And the implementation of the XML parser in various environments would be <em>a bit more complex</em>.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+			We prefer XML as an input and output format and look forward to cooperation with XML ecosystem (XSD, XPath, XSLT, XQuery etc.).
+			Such steps might be at the beginning, at the end, or even in the middle of the relational pipeline.

+			<strong>Have you seen <a href="https://xkcd.com/927/">XKCD 927</a>?</strong>		
+			<br/>
+			Yes. And we liked it so much that we followed their instructions and created <m:name/>.
+		</p>
+			
+		<p>
+			<strong>Are <m:name/> compatible with cloud, IoT, SPA/PWA, AI, blockchain and mobile-first? Should our DevOps use it in our serverless hipster fintech app with strong focus on SEO, UX and machine learning?</strong>
+			<br/>
+			Go @#$%&amp; yourself. We are pretty old school hackers and we enjoy our green screen terminals!<br/>
+			Of course, you can use <m:name/> anywhere if it makes sense for you.
+			<m:name/> are designed to be generic enough – i.e. not specific to any industry (banking, telecommunications, embedded etc.) nor platform.
+			Its native data structure is a relation (table) but it can also handle tree-structured data (i.e. any data).
+			It is designed rather for streaming than for storage (but under some circumstances it is also meaningful to use it for storage).
