I have only just discovered a week ago that something like: <!DOCTYPE BODY SYSTEM "html20.dtd"> <BODY> <P>Hello world!</P> </BODY> could be an allowable use of SGML. If I had realised this earlier I could have saved weeks of work in my CML DTDs. I have to say that the SGML community is *not* good at marketing the language - I don't *think* it deliberately keeps it opaque. It has proved extremely difficult to get hold of good newbie information on (say) architectural forms, HyTime, etc. Pleased to see some postings on XML-DEV about it but I don't appreciate things normally till I see a piece of software doing useful work :-) [No criticism to James Clark and those who have implemented everything, but there aren't many household applications yet.] P.
