I just had to reply and express my wholehearted aggreement with Jon's
posting. SGML and SGML power tools can make excellent XML production
systems.
James Clarks SGML to XML tool - SX - for example is built on top of the
core SP library and thus you get basically fully blown SGML power.
All the minimization power you can shake a stick at.
