One cool thing about XML is that I have the 1.0 spec here on my desk, and it's something like 60-70 pages, plus 2 pages of errata. There is something to be said for simplicity. SGML minimization, for example, is a feature I don't miss. But the *best* thing about XML is the W3C. I like the directions they're taking XML, and I'm pleased that it's taking place relatively quickly. -- Jason
