I'm once again trying to get into DocBook, and you can write in
both SGML and XML.  As best I can tell, at least as far as DocBook
is concerned, it really doesn't matter much which you use.  I did
find one post somewhere that basically said, "I step on some toes
here, but XML has a future and SGML doesn't."  Since I haven't
really started writing anything yet, should I learn the XML or SGML
syntax (and therefore learn about XML or SGML in general)?
