XML-Dev is often not the easiest place to learn the basics 
but it is in my experience the best place to get questions 
answered that involve emerging parts of the technology being 
considered for specifications.  For example, despite the 
redirection to the www-tag list for answers to a question 
about a one page definition for documents on the web, the 
question was answered here, not there.  We may debate the
answers for awhile and that usually exposes issues that 
the authors of the document may need to consider.

I think that many of the web and Internet architecture 
questions are better answered here and evolve here. For
anyone learning XML and wants to have an impact on 
the futures of the technology, this is an excellent list 
to lurk on and a place to learn.  Just be aware that a 
wide range of topics and styles are tolerated here.

But if you really are new to XML, do spend some time in 
the widely available tutorials and perhaps pick up a book or 
two with programming examples in your favorite language.

Welcome!
