Be careful... to not make it broader that it is intended because we 
will dilute the meaning of extension.

	XML 1.0 and RDF Syntax, for example, are core technologies which gives 
you the ability to create new applications (not extension).

	*** XHTML 1.0 is not an extension of XML 1.0,
	it's an application of XML 1.0. ***

Which for me makes a lot of difference. An extension of XML 1.0 would 
be something that would extend the ability of XML 1.0 itself... hmm 
Let's say (stupid example) that I define a grammar which makes possible 
to define tags like that
	@coolo blabla@
	where coolo is the name of the element
	and blabla is the name content
	and @ the delimiters.
