I'd say SGML is the **only way** to do what he is describes. SGML provides the
only mechanism for turning the information contained in documents in data that
can manipulated by a computer as well as a human being. Word processing and
desktop publishing formats only store information about how a document should
look. That info is too ambiguous, inconsistent and incomplete to be manipulated
by a computer.
By the way, I have not seen your Web site yet, but I'll check it out soon.
Sounds interesting.
