CSS was the logical first choice for a stylesheet language, just as HTML was the logical first choice for a markup language. And they will both continue to be popular and important into the future. But neither is suitable for professional publishing on the Web. This is the goal of the XML project. It consists of three parts: the XML markup language, the XML hyperlinking model and the XML style sheet language (a subset of DSSSL). Paul Prescod
