Except Ptolemy lived in the 2nd century, Copernicus the 16th, and Kepler the
17th.  SGML was formalized in 1986; XML a year and a half ago.  I know we're
living in Internet Time, but isn't this "simplification" movement throwing out
the XML Baby with the bath water a tad premature?

No doubt XML and her siblings *will* be simplified some day.  Maybe they'll even
drop the most confusing of them -- Namespaces -- and replace them with (gasp!)
attributes. ...
