There has been real progress.  URLs are real progress, even if theoretically
messy: they provide an actual, functioning, de facto document identifier
infrastructure.  RELAX NG is progress by any measure.  W3C XML Schema
includes progressive features.  By separation of concerns, XSLT and XSL:FO
represent progress over DS+L.  Unicode is real progress.
