Two things: I have heard from several sources that it is envisaged that only a limited number of DTDs will be available and that therefore documents will, in general, be tagged to conform to an existing DTD. The implication is that new DTDs will not be developed specifically to describe individual documents or even small groups of documents. In an admittedly cursory look at _The_SGML_Handbook_ I could not find any discussion of this topic; I wonder if anyone has any opinions or references? And... does anyone know of any attempts to convert existing documents to SGML format, either manually or automatically? References and/or discussion would be much appreciated. If people wish to e-mail to conserve bandwidth, I will summarise. Thanks, Dave. -- David Kelly, Department of Computer Science, Trinity College, Dublin.
