No. That would just be restating the unacceptable position
that the SGML standard defines HTML. It does not.
The only thing the SGML standard defines is SGML. THE FACT THAT
HTML IS AN APPLICATION OF SGML, AND THUS CONFORMS TO THE SGML STANDARD
IN TERMS OF ITS SYNTACTICAL DEFINITION, IS ALREADY STATED SEVERAL
TIMES IN THE DRAFT. But let's make this clear -- it is the DRAFT
that decides HTML is SGML, not the SGML specification.
