SGML vs. XML

[Ian Clemens]

I would definitely go with XML. XML has so much more current and future
potential. Our firm is doing some exciting stuff with Scalable Vector
Graphics (SVG) which is an XML 2-D graphics format. An XML document is a
kind of universal container, into which you can dump all kinds of content,
and make it seamless. Cool.
