| Will a full implementation of XML plus all of its final component | technologies (link, dsssl-o stylesheets, catalog support, etc.) | require the likes of James Clark to make a complete system? It's fine | that the W3C SGML Working Group Reference Implementation do the job, | but if it's become another SP then we have another SP: an absolutely | phenomenal tool, but an enormous hurdle for developers to create from | scratch. If validation of XML is as complicated as SGML, then what is | the point of differentiating it from SGML? Because you don't need validation for XML to be useful. XML makes possible a very large number of lightweight applications that only need to know that a document is well-formed. Jon
