Replacing an sgml-sounding feature with an xml-sounding one does not really seem appealing to me (esp. given my bias towards sgml ;).

You would use the "sgml-sounding" element for SGML (and possibly some XML) stuff, and use the "xml-sounding" element for XML (and possibly some SGML) stuff.
Sure, but you only quoted the 1st part of my mail,
the purpose of which was just to encourage the election of a generic term, as opposed to yet another specific one :)
What about TROFF, LaTeX, and LOUT markup, to name a few ?
A clearly generic element name in 5.0, maybe with a language/markup/whatever attribute to tell the type of markup, would even allow to phase out "sgmltag" in 6.0.
