I wrote technical manuals in SGML and XML at this time and it was not fun.

…what we would now call content strategy to take advantage of the enabling technologies at the time. The complexity of SGML as a markup language gave way to a more simplified XML, and Glushko published a paper about how XML enables Internet marketplaces and trading communities, and why XML was a better use than EDI in B2B applications[16].

I wrote technical manuals in SGML and XML at this time and it was not fun. So I love seeing how you've consistently shown how markup languages played a role in how we think about publishing, content modeling, and related practices today.
