Some of us are just egg-centric and in search of the next chicken. Anyway, since SGML is entity-based and that's where the toys came from, it's hard to lay that at their feet. You might want to have a chat with the mil-spec folks who did 38784 since many of the really overbuilt DTDs started there. Then there were the database heads who claimed one couldn't say database and document in the same sentence without using an oxymoron. Some of us know why a DOCTYPE has a lot in common with a Texas-style sliding tie. Actually, Neill Kipp had to explain that one to me.

SGMLer's seem to instinctivly go document centric while people like myself instinctively go data centric.
