XML has to be easy for SGML editors (and word-processor add-ons) to generate and for arbitrary browsers to read. We needn't worry about XML-only editors or dedicated XML browsers because there won't be any. 2. The browsers need to be able to work without accessing a DTD. Is that correct? -- Charles F.
