*** 'Extensible HTML' available for web publishing
The Graphic Communications Association and its Information
Technologies division announced Wednesday its support for XML--a new,
extensible "HTML" to support emerging web publishing requirements.
Extensible Markup Language, XML, is a simple dialect of SGML. But XML
is different from HTML in that it is extensible. This means that web
publishers can either extend HTML by adding their own tags, or can
create their own descriptive tag sets. For the full text story, see

is the place to go for what is supposed to be the latest XML working
draft. I haven't had time to look at it yet.
Is it too early to start writing a book on the subject? ;-)

I was thinking more along the lines of, "Learn XML 1.0 in 21 days"
We laugh, but I'll bet someone's doing it. And will make a bundle of
money on it, too.
