Rest assured, others (well, me, at least :) are fiddling with SGML. Bear in
mind, however, that my knowledge of it is still really, really rudimentary.

Its a fairly overwhelming (at least on initial exposure) concept.

The stuff you've done is definately appreciated. You've managed to get HTML
to a much more formally described language than it was before, and also to
the point where it isnt changing from one week to another (which was a real
bummer).
