You're right.  If only they had had the foresight to develop XML in
the late '60s, implement it extensively in the military, automotive,
aerospace, and computer industries, standardize it first as an ANSI
standard and then as an ISO International Standard in 1986, and then
after ten years of experience take what had been learned and boil it
down into a Web interchange specification.  Too bad we didn't think of
that.
