This is probably not the right place; this is for discussing DSSSL, not SGML proposals. A proposal for DocBook would best be posed to the Davenport group (<URL:http://www.oreilly.com/davenport/>); general SGML discussion is best posted to the comp.text.sgml newsgroup. > MathML is becoming a standard for Math can't we think of one to deal > with bibliography.

BibTeX is not that great; it is very good, but there are never-ending questions on comp.text.tex on how to handle various border cases. Still, I think most of those problems come from its fielded-data approach; internal structure to those fields could resolve many of the problems, so I think it might be a good starting point for a standardized SGML bibliography solution. I strongly encourage you to repost your proposal to comp.text.sgml. -Chris -- <!NOTATION SGML.Geek PUBLIC "-//Anonymous//NOTATION SGML Geek//EN"> <!ENTITY crism PUBLIC "-//O'Reilly//NONSGML Christopher R.
