XML is a subset of SGML. Now, you can think that "bigger is better" and you'll love SGML or that "smaller is easier and faster" and you'll prefer XML. See the size of libraries: 'sp' is for SGML: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2014208 Nov 2 17:27 /usr/lib/libsp.so.1.0.3 And the expat libraries for XML: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 79412 Jun 2 1999 /usr/lib/libxmltok.so.1.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29120 Jun 2 1999 /usr/lib/libxmlparse.so.1.1 [Personal: I write DocBook in XML only. I think, like Norman Walsh said, that it is much easier to program quick-and-dirty applications for XML files.]
