(X)HTML fails to represent fairly basic document constructs like footnotes, endnotes, document metadata, etc. Docbook does a pretty good job of representing most of what we think of as documents, and it's well specified, and very straightforward to read and process. Of course, spreadsheets would probably require a different format, and representing formulas across products might be hard. Is there an existing format that would work well for presentations? (HTML Slidy works pretty well for a lot of them, but can't represent everything ... and an XML format to represent HTML Slidy shouldn't be that hard to design. Jonathan
