" " Huh? I would love to hear you elaborate a bit on that ;-) Take PGML. Adobe took PDF and encoded it as XML - voila! markup well-suited to describing presentation. (They did a lot more than that, but the point stands.) Similarly, XSL is XML. CSS could be beaten into an XML mold, too. I'm not saying these are great ideas, but markup clearly has more applications than describing document structures.
