That's a little unfair. I wrote much of the second part of Presenting XML, and all the material about SGML is still 99% accurate. The list of applications I talked about is 90% accurate and the bibliographies and WWW pointers are still 95% accurate. The only major change is XS instead of XS. FYI, we are working on an update of the book now. "Dynamic Web Publishing" has a single chapter on XML; I condensed everything down into 22 pages, this too only covers XSL though. "HTML4 Unleashed, Professional Reference Edition" has five chapters and an appendix on XML, and there I *do* cover XS. Advertising over, I thought "XML Complete" was quite good. Not so much for the XML material but it does contain some very useful pieces of Java code (I'm not a Java programmer), and the chapters on Jade and DSSSL are still pretty good for entry material.
