I let this claim pass a couple of times because I didn't consider it
important but now I feel the need to scratch that itch. DSSSL does not
actually use parentheses as tags. If you use nsgmls to look at the SGML
structure of a DSSSL document you will find that all of DSSSL's structure
is actually in omitted tags.
