'Twas James.
But this is interesting:
And here, finally, are the results of the committee vote:
Votes Acronym Full Name
5 XML Extensible Markup Language
4 MAGMA Minimal Architecture for Generalized
Markup Applications
3 SLIM Structured Language for Internet Markup
1 MGML Minimal Generalized Markup Language
To think that MAGMA might have been chosen instead of XML, and several years before Austin Powers at that. (One has to also ponder why they didn't consider SMEGMA, "Salaciously Minimal Extensible Generalized Markup Applications"...)
