Please note that I listed "the primitive language for content models" as one of the grave mistakes. Validatability is a /good idea/ in SGML that is not achieved with SGML. XML did not go anywhere useful with any of this. I am continually amazed that people do not see through the crap. -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
