When XML was created, there was no XML software, but there was a considerable array of existing SGML software. If you follow all the for-interoperability rules, your XML docs should work just fine with pre-1996 SGML software. That's all. I *think* that's what the spec says: for interoperability [Definition:] A non-binding recommendation included to increase the chances that XML documents can be processed by the existing installed base of SGML processors which predate the WebSGML Adaptations Annex to ISO 8879. -Tim xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
