Bray's Law
Tim Bray re-phrased the now-classic
Metcalfe's Law into something that XML spec writers can appreciate:
"The value of a markup language is proportional approximately to the square of the number of different software implementations that can process it."

While I wholeheartedly agree with this assertion (perhaps someday to be known as Bray's Law) I don't necessarily agree with the markup languages he identified as "the big five".
