"Abstract" "Extensible Markup Language (XML) is an extremely simple dialect of SGML which is completely described in this document. The goal is to enable [*]generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML. For this reason, XML has been designed for ease of implementation and for interoperability with both SGML and HTML." I would like to suggest a change of wording there. To me, "generic SGML" is SGML conforming to the full range of features available in the SGML specification (e.g. SGML without limitations not present in the ISO standard). I would prefer "generic markup conforming to the SGML standard".
