In particular: Web servers with generic SGML content must be able prepare data for transmission. This typically includes the generation of a context wrapper with each SGML fragment together with pointers to an associated DTD and one or more stylesheets. Clients that process generic SGML must be able to unpackage the fragment, parse it in context according to the DTD, render it (if a rendering application) in accordance with the stylesheet, and correctly interpret hypertext semantics (links, etc.) associated with various SGML elements. ------------------ Where is the "DTD-less" SGML?
