Right? I think you'll discover a disconnect between Linux/Unix tools and M$ tools. Unix is still very SGML-centric (as far as documentation is concerned) if you ask me. But if you look at things like _The XML Bible_, you'll see many examples of XML use in the commercial world, most of them created with M$-based tools. Then again XML is making great strides as a software design tool/environment. Look at KDE or Gnome source code. Fire up a NNTP client and start reading comp.txt.xml and comp.txt.sgml. The former is usually more busy than the latter. But you'll find more mention of Open Source systems and tools on the latter. Just my $0.02 worth. -- Bob Bernstein http://www.ruptured-duck.com
