Just wanted to support that one. Oh, when you want to write your tools,
look for:

http://www.sgmltools.org/  This is unix piece of software, and a bit
dead (and outdated). Get current docbook at http://www.docbook.org/ ,
they have all important links. They have stylesheets as well, so IE and
mozilla should be able to read .sgml directly. Be sure to look at
http://www.nwalsh.com/ , he's on of the XML gurus, member of W3
commities, IIRC. And http://www.jclark.com/ , he's author of expat, one
of the most commonly used XML parsers (expat), and jade, transforming
engnine. As I surf, jade is available on WIN32, so here your free tools
go. (sgmltools is just a package with nice scripts to call jade).

What a Ken'ish reply that is.
