OED Online

The OED (an XML-like project, if not XML itself) is now online at

  http://www.oed.com/

That in itself is cool.  The fact that they think they'll convince Web
users to cough up US$550.00/year for single-user access on a slow
server, on the other hand, is just plain pathetic.  I'll stick with my
old print edition and magnifying glass for a little while longer.

In the mean time, the Encyclopedia Britannica is free and, after the
initial glitches, now quite fast:

  http://www.britannica.com/

Does anyone know what kind of markup technology they use behind the
scenes?


All the best,


David
