Give me a break.  All I was asking for was a machine readable form
of the SGML standard e.g. BNF description.  I wasn't asking for a
machine readable version of the Standard document which includes
all the descriptions of the various elements contained in the 
grammar.  Secondly I never said I wouldn't pay for a machine readable
version of the standard.  If it was freely available that would
be better but I would rather pay a small fee than to try to manually
enter the standard.
