Wish I hadn't sent that last message." I'm glad you did, because it raised some important issues. XML-DEV, in the tradition of SGML, welcomes contributions from thsoe who are exploring the language. (comp.text.sgml and XML-WG are littered with postings from me which I might have been better to suppress :-). It's very important that we get this traffic because it shows where the presentation of the language and its tools is deficient. If people find things hard to understand, then there is an onus on the documenters to make more effort. Anyway, it's been far too quiet on this list :-) We need to know how people are finding XML and what they want from it.
