+SGML is not "Standardised Generalised Mark-up Language", but "Standard
+Generalized Markup Language", at least according the copy I have.

+It also says ISO is the International Organization for Standardization

+Personal opinion:
+I hope that we will never see application-level binary interchange

+just some random and closed-minded specific application tool is a must
+for soi disant "open systems".  They are closed if they are not user
+extensible.  They are closed if they depend on a particular version of
+a particular protocol specification.  They are closed if users cannot
+understand them.  We are again moving towards the "white robes" of
+super-technicians who have the questionable skill to decode a broken
+ODA bit stream.  "Open" to me also means I can look inside.
+
+Well, I won't go rambling on about this.
