There are some things that are worthless, like the
distinction between elements and attributes.
DTD's are not worthless in this context, but they are
grossly inadequate.
I share the view that XML today is primarily interesting as
a way of storing and transmitting complex information
objects.
I hope it will some day also be useful for presenting the
information content of a document to a browser for
rendition, but that is futures.
