XML became a Recommendation in February 1998.  There were Working Drafts 
from late 1996 onwards.

DynaWeb (and DynaText) could accept most XML documents even before XML was 
defined; the EBT parser began accepting full XML sometime in 1997, I believe.

  support to EBT's products, and who also notes that eBT announced its
  liquidation last week
