Yeah -- I was reading in Goldfarb about the SHORTREF stuff as well
(Annex C). That's pretty cool, you could have tables be marked up
with the author only having to type:
(row1data | data | data)
(row2data | data | data)
Kinda a shame that people are losing all this for XML, but I guess
it's going to be pretty easy to retain an editing context in SGML and
then automatically process documents down into XML for processing if
needed.
