Several people have responded to my initial query about XML, saying that
they're eagerly awaiting XML browsers.
Internet Explorer will parse XML. It includes in its many, many files a Java
parser that makes the "channels" work. Channels are simply XML markups.
However, it takes scripting to make it work in IE.
Fujitsu has an SGML browser that will parse explicit XML. It's at http://www.fujitsu.com and it's called "HyBrick". HyBrick comes with
examples so you can even get started in SGML with it.
