While this is true, knowledge of the "pizza chef" (which probably needs
additional explanation for anyone who isn't already aware of it [along with
the grand tradition of food metaphors within the TEI culture]) is not
exactly wide-spread. But like so many other DTDs developed with
interchange as a primary goal, the TEI DTD can be intimidating to anyone
who isn't intimately familiar with its gory details -- and a certain amount
of familiarity with the gory details will also help someone trying to use
the pizza chef.
