Well, I would have made it a couple paragraphs longer, but in essence, that might have served, except for two problems: 1. The SGML spec is not freely available. 2. XML removes so many details from SGML that it makes more sense to distribute it as a separate spec than as a set of deltas. All the best, David p.s. Shouldn't that be "duct tape", Paul and Don?
