And, with respect, the effort in XML was in reviewing, restating,
rebranding and relaunching an existing technology, not in original work.
Jon Bosak is the father of XML, but only as a foster father; Charles
Goldfarb et al (from IBM, GCA, ISO, etc.) developed almost all the ideas
and forms. Credit where it is due!
XML isn't an invention, its a distillation.
