There would be value, but little buy-in I think. I wrote an XML.COM article on defining Wikis convertable to XML using SGML, for anyone interested. It is also in the O'Reilly XML Hacks book IIRC. I also have a non-SGML technology for describing Wikis to allow conversion into XML. I have an Open Source Java version, and Micah Dubinko made a version in python or .net (oops I forget) to validate the spec and concept. The conversion is described using XML, but not through an intermediate grammar. It uses a kind of table that is, I believe, substantially easier in most cases than using SGML DTDs. Micah and I have never released this XMLWiki "psyche" system, partly because I don't know an appropriate forum for connecting to people who would be interested in it. Cheers Rick Jelliffe
