Yes, at the October meeting we had two tutorials.  The first tutorial
topic concerned XML and was presented by Michael Hahn (Information
Architects).  The second tutorial was on DSSSL (Document Semantics
and Style Specification Language) which a subset of is being proposed
as a standard style language for XML.  This tutorial was given by
Tony Graham (Mulberry Technologies).  In September we also had
a presentation on XML/EDI presented by Bruce Peat, Datamatrix
and coordinator of the on-line XML/EDI group.

In March we are planning on having a debate "Are DTDs Necessary
In XML' to discuss the possibilities (good and bad) of XML-Data
which is a standard currently being proposed by Microsoft.

As you can see XML is one of the major topics of discussion, 
both formally and informally.

Anyone interested in SGML and XML are invited to attend the meetings.
