This is like saying you can mark anything with it. However XHTML esssentially marks up textual information (that is it doesn't markup chemical reactions or music, for example). XTLA doesn't mention markup. (and I'm not sure what the T stands for) The major difference between HTML and XHTML is the formulation in XML of the latter. Thus use: TXML "Text (using) XML" or maybe XMLT "XML (application to mark) Text" In both the acronym XML is kept intact, thus pushing the generic extensibility idea. I prefer TXML. It is easyer to pronounce. TXML (or XMLT) does not have the "Hyper" explicitly, but all XML applications "hyper" with XLink.
