Bill, it's like using a shovel or a rake in your garden. They both have similar handles and a metal part at the end. Each of them could be used for the same reason but they have unique purposes.
Those who are trained in creating websites with
JAVA and similar tools think that SGML is a poor choice, which it is for that. But those who produce technical manuals for state and federal government agencies, military organizations, and the entire aerospace industry know well that SGML is the ONLY tool to use. XML can do some of it but it's a poor choice. ;8>)
My two books on XML are: (1) XML - A PRIMER, 3rd edition, M&T books; and (2) XML for Dummies - 4th edition by Lucinda Dykes and Ed Tittel, Wiley Publishing.
