There is something called "the 'gonzo' test", about which all I know
is that GCA says "all conforming SGML parsers MUST be able to parse
this test" in a blurb about "The XGML Validator (TM)", about which I
know very little.  (What does the "X" stand for?  Why not use "S"?)

Does anybody have more information on this "gonzo" test?
