One distinction to keep in mind...you have the xml "syntax" along with
concepts such as DOM and SAX parsers and then there is this whole slough
of xml "sub-technologies" that are constantly evolving etc. Alot of
books cover both the xml syntax *and* the sub-technologies, which,
depending on what it is you are really after, will influence the choice.
I've learned extensive xml (redundancy intended) through the WROX book
"Profession XML". They now have a 2nd edition (which includes more
thorough schema coverage, etc.)
Anyway, just my 2cp. As someone else said, the specs themselves can be
good reads, albeit confusing in some places. I like 'em better than
shakespeare, though. :P
