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? :-)
