There is some truth in what James says, but it's important to note that he cannot simply go back to SGML -- he will have to go back to SGML, Architectural Forms (for namespace management), DSSSL (for formatting), and HyTime (for data typing) if he wants an equivalent to the above list. If James doesn't need Architectural forms, DSSSL, and HyTime in SGML, then he shouldn't need namespaces, XSL, and XML-Data (which seems to have been obsoleted by DCD anyway) in XML, unless someone decides to start cramming them down all implementors' throats whether they will or no.
