Nor am I anti-sgml. I am however anti-noncontribution, if people are not
contributing because of our sgml but would if it is xml, that is a no
brainer.
Further, here is a real world problem that our toolset creates...
I take 5 minutes, change the stylesheet for SGML. I want to see what my
changes will look like... 3 days later, I will know.
That is stupid. If it was XML, it would be 30 minutes. That is a
workable timeframe.
Sincerely,
