I think flat-file search-and-retrieval systems work well with the SGML
format, and if you need something beyond that you can pour it into a

DSSSL sounded really cool in that XML book that everyone was reading
last year. I hope they kept working on it.

James Clark, the lone programmer who sits on a beach in Thailand or
somewhere and hacks brilliant code that is so out there no one can
understand it? As opposed to James Clark who founded SGI and Netscape
and Healthscape and is building a yacht capable of sailing itself to any
destination around the world. Ah, the characters in the computer world.
