Yes, but try and implement whole document production systems or EAI systems
or whatever using only the aging SGML-only product base, and you'll soon be
in trouble. If you decide to be 100% XML-compliant but not necessarily
SGML-compliant (losing some markup functionality in the process), a whole
world of tools opens up to you.
