Wasn't that capability thrown out when SGML was simplified to create XML
(marked sections in content)?  Seems to me that some re-inventing of
the wheel is going on.  (This is fairly standard standards lifecycle:
new standards arise because the old ones get too complicated.  They cut
things back to the essential.  Soon thereafter, people start discovering
why the original standard was complex, without realising that the original
one actually covered their needs.)
