Sure, nothing goes away. A stable business should expect their backend can be kept alive -if evolving- for 20-30 years. I am still working with SGML systems sometimes! They tick away happily: we usually hide them as services behind a POX SOA facade for now. (And we recently find it easier to find Omnimark developers than Xslt developers with publishing experience: the xslt developers we do find are often database-to-HTML people: so they know nothing about modes, priorities, ids, functions, encodings, predicates or other bread-and-butter document issues.) One of the simplifications of XML was to move to newlines instead of SGML's Record Start/Record End signals. Off the mainframe and onto the commodity computers. Do I remember that Digital's VMS OS didn't have text files, only records? Rick On 18/12/2014 8:41 PM, "Michael Kay" <mike@saxonica.com> wrote:
