Would it make sense to have a separate mailing list for discussing the
political merits of XML, SGML, W3C, etc and keep this one as a more
technically oriented list? I'm getting rather fed up with having delete
stacks of messages attacking or defending the W3C and the like, when as a
developer I'm more interested in learning how to use XML...
