It is not fair to include any of these products which required *changes* to their parsers in order to accept XML. That certainly includes SQ and ArborText and I'll bet Stilo. FrameMaker doesn't accept XML *yet* as far as I know. > Once we add Omnimark to this list of SGML > tools, I think it shows that it *did* turn out to be the case.

I strongly agree that XML benefitted from the existence of SGML tools. I do not, however, think that most of those tools really imported XML directly. My experience was that you either had to filter it (and often still do) or you had to get an upgrade to the product. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco [Woody Allen on Hollywood in "Annie Hall"] Annie: "It's so clean down here."
