Objet : XML vs. HTML


>Some on this list have asked whether XML is necessary. Whether or not it

>XML is not ...  a replacement for HTML. HTML is an excellent tool for
>displaying hypermedia documents across a network. If you have XML or SGML,
>it is easy to generate HTML on the fly. XML is designed for electronic
>information providers who want to do things that HTML isn't designed for.

>This quotation is from a page with a good summary the designed benefits of
>XML: http://www.textuality.com/xml/

>Also worth looking at is Bray's annotated version of the XML 1.0
