In Section 1.2 it says: "XML™ is the shorthand for Extensible Markup Language, and is an acronym of eXtensible Markup Language [XML]." The second half is wrong. XML has never been claimed to be an acronym, (an abbreviation, yes, but the difference is material) and in particular, the X stands for the first syllable of "Extensible", not its second letter. "eXtensible" is simply a vile misspelling that shouldn't be propagated. Cheers, Tim
