Right. I am finishing up an article for xml.com which
goes into the origins of PYX.

In a nutshell, SGML never made sense to me until I 
saw ESIS popping out of James Clarks sgmls parser.
A lot of my SGML systems have been ESIS based and
I have been somewhat suprised at the lack of
an ESIS-like approach to problem solving in
the XML world. PYX is an attempt at introducing
XML developers with no background in
SGML to this sort of processing paradigm.

near future.
