I can think of plenty of civilians who can appreciate XML and TEI. The other week I was helping in a workshop in Spain, teaching people these very topics. Getting over the concepts of markup, and the principles of the TEI DTD, was a doddle. Getting them a) to get to grips with the vagaries of XMetal (fine tool though that is), and b) applying what they theoretically know about the markup to actual examples, was harder. I really don't think ultra-simple DTDs do anyone a favour. You might as well go back to COCOA and have done with it Sebastian *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
