Re: [xml-dev] SGML complexity

Sorry I don't know about the languages I cited, so I cannot comment
about their popularity.

I have seen XML (and XSLT) being used heavily in application

application integration is definitely a very big market. Also these
days, XSLT is used a lot in conjunction with XSL-FO. XSLT these days
is also used a lot in Web Services and SOA.
