I agree. The point is simply it isn't all about typing. Markup has the other benefit of being reasonably system independent. XML is a little less so than the parent language, but moreso than say, RTF or PDF. If you actually want the equivalent of the Rosetta Stone Greek, use SGML. XML is more like the Demotic: a widely used dialect of the time. Len http://www.mp3.com/LenBullard Ekam sat.h, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti. Daamyata. Datta.

I'm not quite sure I know what you're trying to say here; but for long term archival, consider the Rosetta stone. It was written in Hieroglyphic, Demotic, and Greek; and it's that last language that let it be translated. Now imagine it were written in one language. That would have been a lot less useful.
