I'd like to pass over any political overtones in either Tim BL's original message or Henri S's reply and focus purely on technical issues : Henri Sivonen wrote: > Does the W3C now accept that HTML is not in practice an > application of SGML?

Is Internet Explorer based on any of these engines ? If not, then the list needs to include IE's underlying engine. In addition, if the role of the W3C is simply to to place its seal of approval on what /is/, rather than on what /should be/, then I for one would find that a very disturbing (not to say depressing) state of affairs.
