Maybe we have. I don't know that anybody really expected that users
with working SGML systems would throw them away to start afresh with
XML. However, how many new projects involving XML have we seen in the
last 5 years? It seems to me that anything starting now is based on
XML rather than SGML.
Perhaps some of the old SGMLers who predate XML have a different
perspective. Are you seeing any new SGML projects these days?
