When reading about XML, remember that XML is not a replacement for HTML - it is a standard way of defining things *like* HTML in a structured way. It is not really meant to be read directly by people - you write an XML source and if it is to be seen, you define a stylesheet which indicates to the viewing application how to present the information.
At the same time, one of the *really* nice things about XML as a universal format is that the raw data files should be human-readable and editable with text manipulation tools such as Perl. Michael
