I was a HyperCard guy who thought markup was an insanely complex hassle. The HyTime stuff I'd read while searching generally for hypermedia looked downright catastrophic, and I thought for about a year that HTML would go absolutely nowhere - markup just seemed insanely grotesque. Then I learned a little better... but still don't go near SGML per se. And my hypermedia side is saddened but can't help agreeing with Bob DuCharme's piece at: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/03/13/xlink.html As much as I'd like to, I have a really hard time saying XLink matters right now. Kind of funny given my initial reaction to markup for hypermedia and my eventual conversion.
