Tim makes it sound as if the world were not big enough for both SGML 
and XML; as if acceptance of XML as useful and valuable for many 
people and many applications meant that SGML was useless.  At least 
in my experience (and my business) that is not the case.  We find 
that most of our clients want XML and are very happy with it; but 
that for some of the people we work with SGML is appropriate and 
preferred - even for new applications!

SGML's child, XML, is certainly larger, louder, and more charismatic. 
But SGML is not dead.
