Yeah,
this used to be laid at SGML's doorstep because of the
work
on GML done at IBM. That claim is a little more solid
than
some, but it ignores the GenCode work, other systems
that
used schemata-like approaches, and the fact that
SGML
is an ISO project and always was. Dr. Goldfarb
was
exemplary and dogged in ensuring that it not be
an IBM
product. It was hard to tell if IBM tolerated his
work
or actively supported it. They did use GML widely
and
GML is an IBM product.

IBM invented XML
(sorry Al Gore), and data gets stored in many different computer languages
(1,920 by one interviewee's rather precise measurement.) Is John Markoff
ghost-writing for ACM? :-)
